Was this for E175 or CRJ training, please?

SW was on my short list. My biggest issue was having a roommate during training. (I'm more than happy to work with someone 14+ hours a day. Sleep in the same room with them... not so much.)

I reached out to a recruiter to confirm the accommodation situation. This was the reply I received on 28 June.

Yes, we have double occupancy. But if you want single, you can pay half of the costs for that.

For the room setting, it depends on which hotel. But you will need to share bathroom for sure.

I am not sure, it depends on the roommates. I cannot predict if your future roommate is going to be nice or annoying.

If you do not feel comfortable to share room and bathroom, please choose the single room.

Thank you,

Don't know how that could be possible if its SLC and they're still using either of the two hotels they've been using. Candlewood is most common and it has 1 bedroom and a living room with kitchen. One person gets a bedroom with door, the other gets the living room (with bed) in full sight of the kitchen and bathroom. Better hope your roommate doesn't get up a lot during the night!

Denver hotel I was briefly at had a shared bedroom with a separate living room.

For the record, that's considered sharing a room at most airlines.

Agree! That is sharing a room.

Just curious. What kind of single accommodations do they normally have at other airlines? A standard hotel room or an extended stay place with kitchenette, fridge, etc?

At Endeavor i stayed at the Crowne Plaza for 2 nights of Indoc (standard hotel room), 1 bedroom single occupancy Residence Inn for three weeks for systems (bedroom was separate from full kitchen), then a studio at Marriott Towne Place Suites for a month for sims (full kitchen). It’s in the contract that long term training requires an extended stay type place here (kitchen). Everything was single occupancy of course, and it blows my mind Skywest is still doing double occupancy. Lots of guys were able to have their families come visit and stay in their rooms (they all had a pull out sofa) during the weekends... a much better option than going home.

Got it. The kitchen sounds nice. 6-8 weeks of food from hotel restaurants and the typical surrounding chain restaurants would be horrific.

If I remember correctly though you could request single based on some criteria. Also I think you could pay the difference if you wanted single.

Not me, I SHARED a room. As in, the dudes bed was RIGHT NEXT to mine. We had a kitchenette and a common area, but we shared a bathroom and shared a sleeping space. It was like boy scout camp or something. They preached professionalism (and anti-union(ism)) all day in indoc and then sent us to our boy scout summer camp rooms to sleep at night. Cheap cheesy, and COMPLETELY indicative of how this company operates.
