Yeah, it's a nice hotel. Did 606 training there a few months ago and never left the hotel. Standard hotel bar with good food and company with other guys going through one thing or another. Saw the famous Spondivits on the way to the training center, looks to be about a 10 minute walk (?)

It is a slippery slope for DALPA to start naming areas of towns as "not safe".

Buddy, you need to take the emotion out of the argument and stop assuming that everyone's out to get you, or against you. This is my beef with you Carl.
Lesson for everyone on the forum.
My simple post was ... paraphrasing ... "I don't see how DAL could be liable because they have in good faith provided sound transportation and a place to stay."
But, Carl, who by disagrees with this position, instead of debating the merits or lack of merit of the content, instead attacks the messenger (me), as if I'm the person who is putting people in harms way, and instead changes the argument, making it appear as if I agreed with DAL allowing us to stay in a crap hole.
Good on ya Carl.
