The 6/22 class is completely new. A new system plug has arrived.

Edit: got beat to the punch

Any words on hotel retro?

I kid, I kid.

Great news! The 3 year FO that had much angst over new hire hotels and how low his starting pay was will be joyous. Of course those rants were followed by the senior guys,”with their two houses and boats” should have planned better (with regard to losing their pensions). Long trip. Regardless, nice perk for newbies.

Ah, that takes me back.

First time I opened the ground level window, I saw a lady of the evening in flagrante delicto in the alley behind the hotel.

Not deterred, I opened the window on the second night, and saw an abandoned car on fire.

I did not open the window a third time. The widow view was edgier than HBO and Cinemax combined.

('Twas a very shabby regional. But, the hotel was free. And gated. With armed security 24/7.)

About time! I'm glad they finally changed this. Maybe BB actually read some of the newhire surveys?

This is great news. The new VP - Pilot Training and Standards is a solid leader. Expect more good things to come from him.

Yeah right. If he keeps making these pilot friendly decisions, he’ll soon be out of a job.

Correct. We are on training pay (4k) a month until IOE completion. About a year ago we started providing hotels for the first 2 weeks of Indoc. Its definitely something that needs to be corrected in our current CBA negotiations. I think it was one of our openers iteams when we opened 2 months ago.

Training pay was $4,600 back in 2016 and $5,100 back in 2019.

I get the joke but he's been working up the ranks quickly these last few years. I hope he's the next VP Flight Ops.
