I just received an email from two of my 2010 classmates. Both were hired by UAL. One is at Indoc and the other is getting ready to start. That makes 6 guys from my class who left DAL. 2 - UAL 2 - FDX and 2 - SWA
Wow....
Wow....

If you stick around here, you'll be a 767 captain before they even make senior FO...

I'd call all of those, at best, toss ups. FEDEX, sure. SWA, maybe. UAL, no.

Porsche is building its customer test track within walking distance of DAL HQ. It's worth it to do one of their driving experiences they offer there.

I've been based in DTW and CVG both. I would say hotels are a bit pricier in CVG and can be harder to get. Depends too if you have a car.
If you have a car, try Priceline in the airport and Florence areas. Generally, a $50-55 will get you a 3 star hotel out the door for under $70 after taxes. The Doubletree at the airport gives us $76 out the door and it is very nice. This is almost the best bet for value for your money.
There are certainly dives that can be had for cheap. I think that the Quality and Comfort Inns are in the $45-50 range out the door. They aren't great, but if you aren't going to be there long I guess they are tolerable.
Country Inns and Suites is about $68-70 out the door, but seems to always be full. As dead as the airport is, (good) hotels can be tough to come by.

SWA isn't even interviewing, another BS story.

You are correct that a union that wasn't conflicted with one of its groups benefitting at the cost of another, would certainly have done a better job! Side letter after side letter after LOA bought the company all the time they desired and the rest was gravy. It was a small group that was forced back and received back pay. I received neither while the pilot rolls doubled at DCI. Was that you shiz saving our bacon? If so thanks shiz....how did we ever avoid BK??...oh wait
Nobody saved the company from BK, and no union could save a company from BK... If I'm wrong please show me a good example.
Poor management leads to bankruptcy, keep your blame in the right place.
