Serious question...Do other airline contracts stipulate new hire hotels specifically? I mean is it there in black and white in the contract or do other airlines just pay for new hire hotels because it’s what they SHOULD do?
As an aside I think the fact that DEN based commuters still won’t get their hotel paid for while going to recurrent/upgrade training is a huge oversight by our NC.
Potential new hires:
This is NOT HARD! Currently AND with the NEW TA, hotels are NOT a paid by the company. If/when the new TA is voted down, TA2 will probably not address/add new hire hotel rooms. Of course, it’s at company discretion to pay for these if ever / whenever they wish to. However, at the present time, neither the company nor the union cares about this.
Additionally, once hired, if you are based in Denver, whenever you have training, you will not receive a hotel room. If you are based at any other domicile (Vegas, MCO, Philly, etc) and are required to perform training in Denver, the company WILL provide hotel rooms.
There really shouldn’t be any more questions about this...

Do you really have a question for the F9 community asking about other airlines hotels? How much homework should we do for you? Perhaps posing this question on other airline pages would help...
But to your point, it IS an oversight IMO. After working for this company for a few years now, I don’t put any cost saving measure past them.

“The F9 community”? “How much homework should we do”? GFY. I’m an F9 pilot, I AM the community. Take your “we” and shove it up your a$$.
I get the feeling our NC wasn’t as thorough as they needed to be in some areas and this was a question that was meant to help me validate or disprove that belief. If other airlines stipulate the company will pay for new hire hotels it’s one benefit that helps recruit individuals that might otherwise not apply to a place that doesn’t. I just hope that we start providing that benefit whether it’s spelled out in the contract or not. I’ve talked to several people in the past that would be great hires that refused to apply because of a hokey caveat like having to pay for their own lodging during training.

Mr (or Mrs) Keg, if you're at F9 already, I can only imagine why you'd be asking about other airlines' hotel policies. What's even more disturbing is the fact that despite YOU being at F9 and not knowing, you expect others of us to know - and tell you?
I won't tell you to GFY or suggest you do things to certain body parts because I'm not 12 years old, but I will reiterate the need for you - just like any potential new hire - to go research. In the appropriate place.
You wouldn't go to Burger King to ask about the special sauce used by McDonald's...
