Can we please fix our own hotel situation on VA Ave first? The three hotels we use for training are horrendous. The new hire FAs get the brand new suites at the Residence Inn... Could we also replace "downtown" with a mutually acceptable and hotel committee vetted "nice area" language in the contract? Such as: beach in LA, Brooklyn in NY, beach in Tampa... Detroit for crying out loud? Atlanta... can we stay in Buckhead instead of downtown?

This makes too much sense.

There’s a vacant building which I’m told is owned by Delta 1 block north of VA Ave. It’s 3-4 stories high and with a little love and care could easily be turned into a pilot dorm building of sorts. Given the volume of training coming down the pipe, I would think that would be a better use of the company’s money. One that could also turn a profit after we pass our big training years of they sold it. It’s just past the Marriott Courtyard on the left.

I just can't believe you guys didn't enjoy "Roachcrest" apartment living, especially on your own dime!

Default CQ Question

For May, my category shows 18 "Must Go" for CQ but only 16 training patterns listed:

1) What happens to the 2 Must Go's if they dont go?

2) I myself am a "May Go"....so 99.69% chance I won't be going in May?

I would say if you don't want to go - you will go. If you want to go - you won't. At least that is how is has always worked for me including this cycle as I am an "early" with about a .000001% of going.


Seriously though, I doubt you will go. But that brings up another question - why aren't they front loading CQ prior to the summer crunch? My category has 10 must go and only 11 slots. Seems like plenty of guys will enjoy June and July in Atlanta.


Oh well, as a wise man once said - "Mongo only pawn in game of life."

My category is NYC 73, so by my count, there is about 269 new hires they are trying to cram thru training for this summer....guess us already qual'd guys will just keep getting pushed to our "Must Go" months.

i asked this question, the answer i got was it has so much asbestos it would cost too much to fix so they just let it sit vacant.

Hey Buck. You want to apologize yet? I PM’d you if you are confused. Or go to the “New video from MEC thread” if you are confused.

You can’t throw a grenade and walk away without consequences bro.

No Tailhooka....can't say that I do.

I asked a pretty simple question about how much time you had on the property. Others felt compelled to ask me what difference it made. I answered their question of why it was important to me(civilly I thought)....if it's not important to others...so be it. You then answered the question of your length of service and then proceeded to leave the reservation. When people talk about burning down the house prior to openers, it peaks my curiosity. I do however see a common thread.

Carry on
