We just changed three or four months ago. Much nicer digs and in a better part of town. The previous place was a dump and we did have some guys mugged walking home from a pub. I'm heading to recurrent in late July and will report back but, from what I hear, the new place is pretty nice.

I'll tell you, this is something the company should have addressed long ago. And in the absence of the company, where the heck is DALPA on this? There's nothing more important than the personal safety of our employees. Everything else pales in comparison.
DAL had better hope nobody ever gets badly injured or worse. They would have very difficult questions to answer in front of a jury as to why they allowed a known safety problem to continue.

It is a slippery slope for DALPA to start naming areas of towns as "not safe".
However, like others things you complain about, I'm sure you can muster up a strongly worded post on APC for DAL's management to read.

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 (?)

Carl I somewhat agree with you. However, you can't hold the company liable for the actions of others. The company provides you secure transportation from the airport, hotel, and training facilities. The hotels I've stayed in are secure. So I'm not quite sure how DAL could be liable here.

The hotel isn't bad, just not as nice as the ***** at MSP. Many guys drive down to ATL for long training, so they can get away from the usual hangouts on Va. Ave. There is also a rent a wreck place (forget the name) that guys will use for a long term rental while they are there. I got a Dodge Neon once and I only had to fill the front tire once a week. Real chick magnet.

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.
