Apparently it’s all food trucks I heard while construction is being conducted on expanding OSC. No idea if it’s good or not or what it costs.

They're gone now. Kitchen has limited capacity, but is functioning again.

JetBlue gets that all done up front. Just a different way of doing business.

Delta background only takes 5 business days, while you’re on the pool swimming.

Although not completely equitable, it's a decent arrangement and is comparable...........unless you live in ATL and don't have a lodging expense while in training for DAL.....

Delta training pay is $5,091.20(pretax). They will give you a hotel for Indoc. If they send you to sims somewhere else (like MIA, LAS, etc), they will pay hotel per diem. Also, 16% to the 401k + Profit S starts from day 1.

Shrugs.
Just passing on what I was told by JB HR.
I specifically asked this question during my interview.

It is sad that Delta doesn’t cover hotels for new hires during the second part of the training and uniforms (not even an allowance). I understand the training pay, but no hotels for part of the training, is not cool. ALPA doesn’t want to spend negotiation capital on it.
