None of it is tax deductible.

My class is working through it now:
AirB&B's look like $750/m, Crash Pads $450 or so. Long Stay hotels $1500 and up for the first 3 1/2 week stretch.

Of course you may be able to find cheaper; but this is ballpark.
You may be sent somewhere other than Denver for the second stretch; clearly the calculus is different then as the company picks up the tab and you earn per diem.
For those protesting the harshness of paying for your accommodation in training, head over to the Delta forum. Pretty much the same deal there too..

How much do they make first year? This should have been included somewhere but now that they are filling classes, don’t expect it for a long time.

By ‘deal’ I mean ‘new hire DAL pilots are considered ATL based and aside from a week of Indoc are expected to provide their own accommodation’...
I don’t think I was especially controversial...

It’s been awhile for me but I used bradspad and it was only 220 a month and it was really quiet. Not 100% sure if he is still doing it though.

What do the average lines look like in Denver for FO’s? How long to hold a line or long call?

You have to get DEN as a base first. Senior for both seats. Expect PHL to start
