Not in SLC. I only bid middle of the pack and have only done two four day trips in the past four years. I probably average only one three day a month as well. I don't spend many overnights away from home.

Slc is the baby of the company. You get all the attention for trip mix, good overnights and we'll balanced pairings.

Bet you don't have a lot of 4 days that go: 7amshow mdg, mdg, mdg, 13 hour duty day 10pm release day 4.

All for a whopping 20-21 hours. Denver has a ton.

Exactly. It's all crap everywhere (albeit I'll admit Denver has a great trip mix and tons of great trips, but tons of crap) yet in slc it's all rainbows and butterflies. Always has been, always will be.

SLC shortstaffed? Never. They'll OBR guys there to cover it all.

Besides, that's a trip rig trip everywhere. 84 AFB = 21 hours min.

Probably of little interest to most but for those who were planning to pay the $1,500 for a single occupancy room for training, today that rate went up to $3,000.

Seriously? Any reason why? I find that hard to believe.... That would easily cover the entire cost for the candlewood.

I probably should had specified that it was for accommodations in Denver. They moved hotels to actually what looks like a real nice place called [General Tso's Chicken]. $1500 would had been possible. But not $3000.
