There are no shortage of fliers in the training center break room for crash pads, plus a few websites that have offerings. Having a vehicle opens up lots of options.

Indoc is paid hotel by the company, btw.

Best of Luck.
Red lion had some deal two years ago through ALPA for new hire sims. Can’t remember the exact price but a bunch of us stayed there. The Mexican restaurant downstairs is absolutely off the hook.

Sadly that's not going to enough to make up for this last summer and retirements early next year. All NB fleets better be stocking up on lube this winter were going to need it next summer!

They plan 900 plus new hires for the summer schedule. He discussed narrow body manning extensively in the letter. The plan 436 retirements in the same time frame.

Plus the new hires for the rest of this year. Which is probably another 100 or so.

900 plus by summer includes the fall new hires. It does not include Aug/Sep new hires. Perhaps 50 more there.

Yeah better get that lube ready! I am in one of the most understaffed categories in the system and I was getting 16-17 days off all summer with 1 reroute. Gotta get that lube! Haha rape jokes!

Be thankful. Not everyone’s schedule worked out that well.
