hotel crew rates in newark
 

hey everyone, im gonna be gettin out of the schoolhouse soon, and sooner or later going to end up commuting to newark... i was hoping someone could tell me a great discount rate on a hotel around newark i could use... im exploring the option of not using a crashpad... any input would be much appreciated

Wyndham Garden is $53/night for XJT crews.

there are a few pay per night crash pads as well.

Unless you're rich or being subsidized by your parents or wife or someone you will need a crash pad to commute to EWR. You'll be on reserve for a few months if the hiring continues and even with aggressive pick up you won't fly enough to not have a crash pad. 4 nights at Wyndham is a months worth of a crash pad and you might need a place to sleep 4 nights of a 4 day block of reserve.

And when you get a hard line you might still need a crash pad. I've been here 9 months and this is the first month I won't have a crash pad. Next month I'm back in it.

Didn't you just start there? How do you already know you're Newark based?

Yeah, you've been in class for what - a week? Sure you'll probably be able to get Newark when the new bid closes, and if that's what you want that's obviously good news for you. But you're already talking about being done with training and list yourself as a 145 FO... confidence is one thing but you're nearly 2 months from actually making it. Maybe concentrate on that first.

lol... calm down folks... im not being overconfident, in fact, we havent even been told yet where we will be based... im just hoping i can get newark... if i cant, thats fine. im just researching options... as far as my label beside my name, is it really tht big a deal if i put tht there right now? lol... pretty sure the apc police isnt going to hunt me down...

Eh, maybe not. But if you've been around here long enough you'd know that the grammar police will be all over you in no time! I'm jus' sayin' :D

You didn't put a period at the end of your last sentence :).

To the OP, Roger Cohen from the RAA knows where you can find a cheap room. Call him at: 202-367-1170.

Thank you sir. I hope this is acceptable grammar.

Well played, sir. And how about we all give ole Roger a call, eh? haha

Eh, it's like when I was in the Marines, you always had someone calling himself a Marine while in training or sometimes even before the training started. Big Negative!!!! Don't jump the gun, once you pass you can call yourself the best pilot in the world for all I care, but you are guaranteed nothing til you pass training...so yea noone likes a newhire claiming something not earned yet

Back to the original question, how about some Newark hotel rates ???

As a EWR 145 FO, I can tell you, get a crashpad. You're life will be a living hell if you expect to get by without one. I'm a lineholder, and it's a necessity. The guys on reserve are spending most reserve blocks not flying. I think this holds true for all bases, FYI.

Is this the same Ryan Duveneck from Ace?

haha, is tht u bryan?

and thanx for the info guys
