They planned for that? That's funny - I asked for one yesterday after CQ day 1 - after 35 mins on hold with crew hotel people, they said "what?...no rotation? No, you won't be reinbursed. You're on your own". Duty pilot wondered why I cared - if you make it, you make it. If you can't, stay home.

I cancelled the room I got on my own and came home. Today, a 2 hour ride from E. Cobb to training center this morning to do day 2. Two hours back home this afternoon. White knuckles and 25 MPH the whole way. I wanted to get it done, but zero guidance/advice/info from anyone at Delta. No response from training planner. No one even knew if training was still going on.

We're a big airline. It would be nice to have a bit more support and have a team to answer the phone outside business hours.
