Crowne was always decent on random Dayton overnights but I wouldn't want to be there long term.

 

[QUOTE=PleaseComplete;2306045]I don't think he ever said they didn't

Thank you. I didn't say that. Just trying to help people behind me.

I'm still very happy I chose PSA

 

I talked to the BW manager on my way home Friday. She said that they are the main hotel now for training but they have to skip every 3rd or so class because of our sizes. Right now it seems they put that class into the overnight hotel at the Crowne. She said that PSA is in talks with the Hampton Inn behind them to take some of the load. They are very happy to get the contract. The only issue is that it will cause headache with commuters as room avaiablity is very low or nonexistent.

If your at the BW try to go over and have a beer at the Clarion. It's cheap and those guys miss us. The bar staff are really nice and accommodating.

There is no bag lunch at BW as they have no kitchen. Yes it was a nice perk but I also came from another airline which didn't do that, so I didn't mind either way.

 

I didn't mean to suggest he did. That was your subjective inference. My point was that whatever he thought of the conditions at the Crowne, it's better than the bedbugs and drug paraphernalia found at the Clarion. (and the incessant drilling, banging, dust, mold, noxious odors, and stained bed linens.)

 

I haven't had an issue with the staff at the Crown. Everyone has been pretty friendly. Sure there is no free food but we are on full per diem. The hotel just hired more drivers so they are trying. Plenty of folks drove. If you need a lift, ask a class mate. I have 3 open seats.

Over the last 30 plus years of traveling the world, the Crown holds up as a good place to stay in my book. Are there issues, yes. Are they trying to provide good service, yes. Are we in a semi metropolitan area where maintaining good SA is important, yes. I've had more homeless and folks selling weed approach me on Waikiki and I don't think anyone would say Waikiki was a bad place to stay.

Indoc Final Exam, what a ball buster! Study up!

 

It is amazing that people are complaining about being at a nicer hotel that is being provided FREE. And it is single occupancy! You don't even have to share like a lot of other places.

These last posts make my head hurt.

I also can't believe that FO's making $60,000 a year are complaining because they don't get free pb&j sandwiches at the nicer hotel. Go rent a car and drive yourself. Seriously. I know my class had several people drive, and a group of 2 friends and I rented a car for the 5 weeks that we were there and split the bill. We put all of us on the insurance and we split it. And we made $24,000 our first year.

You are an adult. Find a solution. Make it work. Don't just sit back and complain.

 

Not too concerned about hotel. But can you give us an idea of the how the training is split up as far a time in Dayton, Cincinnati, Charlotte, etc That would be good to plan for. THANKS

 

Were they homeless people, or Regional Airline Management?

 

Come on man!!! You know pilots ain't happy unless they are complaining. Give me a gold brick and I'll b;#(h about how heavy it is.

 

Ah, boy you're one of those... but yea, go ahead and keep talking to us like we are infantile...

there was no drug paraphernalia found quit spreading rumors, I was standing right there when the FA found what was found, it was a bag of 3 pills that looked like aspirin and very well could have been for all anyone knew, that could happen at any hotel anywhere, who expects cleaning ladies to look under mattresses.

if you really wanted to hit your point home you'd tell the story of the guy finding a used condom in his room...

while the bedbugs are a very unfortunate thing it most likely occurred because in December the hotel hosted a bunch of homeless people so they wouldn't freeze to death not because they are a bunch of slumlords. no good deed goes unpunished.

I can tell you most likely never worked in construction as I could bet that you could pull the drywall out of most any bathroom in all of America that is at least 5 years old and find some mold on the back of the drywall from the bathroom and I would win that bet

while the Clarion was no palace it beat the crap out of the tent I slept in on deployment by a mile.

perspective.
