Well, it is a suite, and you have 'your own room' as in you have a bed and a closed door. So what ever you have to do behind closed doors is up to you.

But I digress.Honestly, it could be good for others. Make a new friend and talk to someone else about how the class was going for them and ask each other questions.

Many females end up with their own room of there are an odd number of females in the class. They don’t room males and females together. If there’s an odd number of males, someone will get their own room.

Thanks,

I know for a fact it has everything to do with money, this is one way the training dept. saves cash. BTW if you end up in ATL for sim you highly likely will be in a bed next to another bed with some dude you barely know.

There are two parts to this situation that was told directly to a sim instructors meeting when brought up:

First, it's money, SKW can get double rooms sometimes far less than 2 separate rooms, and SKW is usually the only customer for such. Pure and simple it's money, even during the Olympics we found cheap rooms, sometimes 20 miles away, and even then sometimes people shared beds. Paying for a separate room on your own is not always an available option. There been more than one that have quit because of it, I guess some people like to be treated like a professional adult? If I want to make friends with a class mate, I'll do it over a beer not running around in my room in my underwear.

Second, SKW likes to "test the waters" with people. They know they can't do it to already established employees even though they tried when we had to go to Berlin for sims. They want to see that you will tolerate being treated the way they want to treat you with out back pressure. If you resist it YOU WILL BE NOTED as "uncooperative" and "bad attitude". If you don't have any issues through training it won't be a factor, but if you do they will be less likely to work with you.

Capitulate to graduate, or in other words, surrender your self respect so SKW gets a known commodity.

Trust me, the double bunking is very demeaning, but it nothing to how insulting it is to be on reserve here.

Not complaining or complimenting, but logically ... if the number of rooms was the issue, how is it that when sims happen, suddenly everyone gets a single?

Delta doesn’t even pay for hotels. The fact of the matter is, why would OO change this?

The line pilots aren’t going to petition for this, because honestly we all did it. This clearly doesn’t affect recruiting, so the company isn’t going to do it either.

Right on.

This has nothing to do with anything else but “they get away with it”. The rest are just dumb excuses (not enough hotel rooms etc.)

The recruiting department is very data driven and tries to understand why people are not joining OO who have an offer. Double occupancy doesn’t even make the list.

I just left a job working for some of the cheapest people on the planet. They would not hesitate to put us in the roach motel vs. the hilton if it saved them even a single dollar, but even there we got our own rooms.

I had to look this up:

definithing.com/tfayd/

“thanks for all you do
as used by russel “chip” childs in all his letter to his employees
used in short “tfayd” sarcastically by his employees to show when they got shafted
blah blah
thanks for all you do,
chip childs”

The internet is sure interesting!

It's a suite that has one bedroom, the other "bedroom" is where the living room would normally be, so one person does not get privacy. I wouldn't be opposed to being in a hotel room suite with another training pilot if we both had our own separate rooms.
