My rec. is get a hotel, split a hotel or find a crashpad. Sacrifice one month and you have the rest of your career to make it up. Invest in nice surroundings for training. Some hotels offer free Breakfast and Cocktail hour.

Lots of crashpads $250-350
Consider splitting hotels with a buddy on a similar footprint. Had a few guys in my class that spent $1600 or so for 2 weeks of hotel on their own.
I opted for a pad nearby and spent $125 for the 2 weeks I was in systems. $250/mo. I was then in MIA in coming hotels the two weeks for sims. (717) it was walking distance and I could catch the crown plaza shuttle if it was bad weather.
There are a few hotels nearby with suite style rooms that could be split and allow you to both have your own beds if you that route.
Good luck!

Seatlock question:
So if you're locked into your aircraft (usually) for one year from indoc, and follow on seat locks are 2 years.....if you stay in your indoc assigned acft for let's say...18 months....you could still bail to another acft w/o penalty, right?
In other words, if you don't leave you're indoc jet after 12 months, you don't automatically incur a 2 yr seat lock on your indoc jet, correct?
Acft choice might be changing and I want to make sure I look before I leap. Thx!

And another question here....
Pilot Relative Position
Is this chart based on seniority to hold a line in each base / acft or does it show seniority needed to just sit reserves in each base / acft?
Originally I thought this was seniority needed to hold a line, since showing a line number to sit reserves wouldn't make sense because that would include, somewhere, even the plug from today's class. You don't need seniority to sit reserves somewhere in the company.
Yet look at the NYC -88 FO number....12,927. Obviously there's more than ~ 73 pilots sitting reserves in all of DAL.
???

It has no basis on holding a line. For that info, if you are better than 80% in a category you are most likely a line holder. In some categories, there are less reserves. In the junior narrow body categories, there can be pretty dramatic swings in relative seniority due to people coming off of their initial seat lock and bidding where they really want to be.
Hope this helps.
