There is NO pilot shortage......
Labor supply and demand still shows there are plenty of pilots out there but it is on the up swing.

Just tell the hotel staff you want a single room. They'll give it to you if they have one. Worked for me.

We had 2 people in our class that did that, no one seem to have a problem with it.

Yep, it works for some and doesn't work for others.

Actually being gone 4-6 weeks without visiting my family is a deal breaker for me. I'm not going to leave them for that long just to make 19k for that job.

If I ever do decide to become an airline pilot I will most likely go with an airline that has training within a few hours drive along with living in domicile.

Thanks for the info.
