I have a hard time believing that. I know people in training right now and I just texted them and they haven't heard of any of those problems... how can the paycheck be 40% short? It's a paper check for the first month. And what hotels are you referring to?

I just finished training 5 days ago. $1800 a month for the first month. Which means about $650 for the first two weeks and the same for the end of the month. Hotel managements don't have anything do with RAH, not all hotels are created equal. In IND our hotel the Cambria- awesome 4 star hotel. While in STL for systems we had La Quinta...not too shabby, but during sims we had Holiday Inn. We got our bonus during our first check...2 weeks after starting indoc.

I'm not saying people should suffer! I'm so happy the industry has gotten better in the time I've been here. It irritates me to hear guys complain about petty things.

Hotels were fine, zero issues. Checks were fine and on time. It's a pain, but ID's come the last week. The company PS'd some people home over weekends that needed to go. If your "friend" doesn't need the job and is ready to quit over what I'm assuming are issues not nearly as bad as described, then I'm guessing he/she is in their early 20's, lives at home, and has never wanted for anything.

What is the outlook on the MCI base? I may be moving to the Kansas City area and having that base option would be ideal.

No official word on MCI. Latest staffing outlook doesn't show any changes as far as MCI, but it's hard to say what the long term plan is.

Thanks for the info. Having the MCI base would make like 100x easier living in MCI but at this point I'm not going to bank on it.

So they didn't get your ID's until end of training basically? Last week of sims?
