Builds character, LOL.
The next few classes will be full of character(s)!

Yes, thanks for the insights, and as things develop, please drop any nuggets of info to us.

Any suggestions on BnB or longer stay places?
I know that with training footprint not cemented yet, a lot of what was “normal” previously can change, but a few suggestions or stay away froms would be helpful.
I have a Denver Crashpad that is quiet, a nice house owned by a United guy with three junior frontier pilots. There is an empty room, not shared. PM me if you want the info.

Two quick questions if anyone help:
1) any suggestions for uniform/crew gear for newcomers?
2) how do staff travel benefits work at F9? Standard ID90s from day one for self and 6 mos. for family members? Or other rules apply?

1) M&H visit early in training. You're obliged to buy a basic uniform from them. There's lots of discussion on APC about shirts :-)
2) Online Passes after 30 days, CASS in the first week,30 Buddy Passes at 90 days and ZED/ID90 after 6 months iirc.
EZ20 is a favorite benefit; Positive Space, checked bags et al at 80% of the cheapest ticket offered on that route. (that's 80% of not off..)

I thought housing was paid for from latest contract? No paid-for uniform either?

I think the company chips in 50%, the rest is a payroll deduction.
Accommodation and per diem is paid only if your (Sim) Training is outside DEN; which with classes <25 is unlikely...

Housing is not provided during training unfortunately. However, word on the street is that you may get to go home for a chunk of time during training and do study at home CBT. That will potentially save some money on hotel or crash pads

Not completely accurate, company gives you $20 each check for uniform allowance and they will also take $20 from each check until the uniforms are paid off.

The $20 is for cleaning. It’s not an allowance. Incase someone is still writing it off on their taxes. You can write off uniform purchases but not dry cleaning.

Federally you can’t write off any business expenses since the tax reform. Even the famous pilot per diem write off is a no go now. I know CA will let you write it off on your state taxes.
