But there is also the chance your roommate, which you don't have any choice over, also likes to walk ala buff or snores like a freight train or likes to drop a Hiroshima size deuce every day before you get your chance in the shared shower.

Did you come here expecting to be treated like an adult?

Also true. Just trying to provide a bit of iron lining.

They you act like a adult, talk to the training manager and make other arrangements... instead of b.s.’ing about it on APC.... they will listen to your concerns..

First of all you really need to proofread better.

Everything I said was mentioned by students, although the deuce drop was more of a joke going on.

Single occupancy rooms are rarely available, it's the student's responsibility to arrange and pay for it, none of it is BS.

Double bunking is for boy scout camp.

Have you received any travel, hotel info yet?

I’m in the erj dec 28th as well. Spoke with them today and CTP is overbooked so I’ll be going to Dallas next week to ATP instead of DEN for CTP. Said travel will show up on SW online toward end of week.

I feel ok about Skywest overall, but the double occupancy is straight Bull*******. I’m a grown ass man, gotta show up to 1st day in a white shirt black tie like a professional but I got to sleep with another dude in the room and share a shower, really?? Really surprised this double occupancy gets thru legal in this day in age. This is a reason I wish SW was union, this silly sh*t wouldn’t fly.

If you’re at the Staybridge you’ll have your own bedroom and bathroom.

I was ready to pay half my living expenses to avoid that nightmare. Everyone in my class and the other classes there at the same time had 2/2 suites. Maybe we just got lucky, maybe it’s based on availability, I don’t know. Good luck!

Thanks, we will see. Hopefully we will all get what you got. I just can’t bring myself to pay 2k for something the company should pay for so I’ll make it work either way, just hoping for a little privacy is all.
