I agree 100%. Lots of things that cost money, and some that are require no money, but are just insurance.

Can we still bank? I have never been able to bank before, but now with the increased reserve guarantee I am wondering if I can. How do I do this?

Delta should do what we do here at Pinnacle, offer the hotel but allow the pilot to opt out and save the company half the money, and the pilot gets paid for half his/her living expenses.

Pinnacle has single occupancy hotel paid for by the company on day one of training as well as positive space home on the weekends.

As long as people are willing to pay for their hotels, Delta will not. Once interviews begin and pilot do not show or Delta has issues filling classes; you might see paid-for hotels.

You can easily bid an unblockable and therefore reserve line. Avoid every rotation and "else reserve" there is probably an even easier way than that like select avoid, then click on landings in then highlight every landing airport in blue, then select else reserve.

Dude they do not positive space home on the weekends, only during breaks or before/end of training. They do not just because you want to go home
