The one that everyone is in now (I won't mention the name because some people get upset about security concerns) is ok, but is temporary.

The hotel booking company that we use and the company are working on getting a new contract quickly for 70 new hires, 24 upgrades, 40 FA's, and instructors that commute. So...about 120+ rooms per night.

When on a trip, do pilots have single occupancy hotel rooms or do you share a room with another crew member?

Everything at PSA is 100% single occupancy.

Some other companies have pilots share hotels in training.

What's helping them is that they split the upgrades off to another hotel. I think only the new hires, FA's, and some ground instructors were historically at the old hotel.

The Fairfield is terrible... better location, but the road noise is horrible and the rooms are at best equivalent if not worse. It's sad because across the street or down the road there are fantastic options. It is pitiful that on our home turf we can't do better.

PSA wins in many ways but hotels in Dayton isn't one of them -- at least in the recent past. I've stayed in 3... and none of them were desirable for various reasons. I hope that changes soon.

The Fairfield is ok, but there's a lot of great food options nearby, and a WalMart across the street.

There's also some great hotels across the street too.

I always loved it. Couldn't have been happier. Location was more important then quality.

That's the best we can do in our home town??? It's sad, one of the worst hotels in the system. Like I said much better location but the hotel and the road noise are ridiculous. On that same street there are way better options where you would keep the location benefits and seriously upgrade on quality.

I don't think any other hotels there have a van. At least that was the case when I was there.

SAP sounds amazing in the QOL equation.

So.... would you choose a regional that has worse scheduling but is based in your home city OR commute to a PSA base because of the SAP?
