From: "if it's got wings, I can crash it".
We ended up finding a pretty nice hotel that costs the same as the crappy, run-down hotels in the same area, I'm surprised not more crews are staying here, but people are too lazy to do any research.
Most hotels in this area will let you 'rent' a room (some have suites) and run it as a crashpad, meaning you can re-arrange it and stick as many people in it as you want. I've heard some guys renting a room with 6-8 people in it. Most I've heard is 11. That's ok if you have a bunch of lineholder, but on reserve.... the last thing I want to do is sit reserve in a room with 6 other dudes. There are currently 3 in my pad and we are looking for one more, but that'll be it! The rent will be about the same as a crashpad in JFK ($200-$250). Shuttle service 24/7, free continental breakfast, bunch of restaurants in the area. Beats camping out in the crew room...

Also, in the past month I think there were around 6 guys that interviewed there...none hired. One guy told me that when he interviewed, the 2 DAL captains never looked up from their note pad and seemed disinterested in him.

By not calling scheduling, you're putting yourself back into your window, subjecting yourself to flying.
By calling them, you're giving them the "now or never" option: Use me or release me.
Your decision there...

Are you sure about DAL? SB was in the crew room in DTW and he stated that they were trying to get DAL to give us preferential interviews, but DAL has not budged on it yet.

Preferential Interviews...it's in the Delta PWA for furloughed ALPA pilots. We enforced that clause through this last hiring cycle. DAL already budged.
Comair pilots interviewed and were hired at the same rate as other DCI carriers. Comparitively fewer total OH pilots applied for DL positions, but they were interviewed and hired at the same rate as other carriers.

I can't speak to how the interviewers treated the guy who told you his story, but the rest of your post is wrong.

I do know one OH pilot that was hired there.
