FWIW, Quote from AS recruiter on phone today after offering paid hotel accomodations through entire training: 'approved 3 days ago, this is a trial run offered to those residing outside 100 miles of SEA for the July 17 class'.

I wonder if they'll extend this hotel deal to any other classes since it's a "trial run".

Seems fair to the people who will have to drive an hour plus to and from everyday. Hopefully there's some in that boat for this trail period and maybe it'll change.

I wonder why there needs to be a trial run. How complicated can it be? Both Alaska and Virgin should be giving hotels to new hires

Welcome to the Air Group. They will do as little as possible and spend as little as they can.

Welcome to Alaska where the wheel still has four sides and they run the airline with a no. 2 pencil.

If you're used to the regionals, you'll fit in well. The work rules are the same or worse and the pay is a little better but not as good as the the big three.

Set your expectations low enough and you won't be disappointed.

Have you moved on from AS?

Hotels for the July 17th class and 31st class confirmed.

I heard that they have hotel contracts for the classes up to the class starting August 31, which they started filling.

You have seats in seniority order and bid for your base in the morning of the first day.

July 17 class had 2 LAX positions and 10 Seattle.
