Also, our innuendo is much more highly refined than the innuendo you will find in high school.

Seriously just be grateful that they even provide us with rooms... because there was once a time when regional airlines did not do so... and back then they paid even less than what they do now!:eek:

First day wear black pants, black shoes, black tie and white shirt (they will take your company photo). After that, business casual.

There's nothing wrong with a guy wanting single occupancy. At most other airlines it's the norm. when I was new at Eagle in '91 as a newbie, we got single occupancy as standard policy, and it never changed over there for new hires. They never had to double up, and they never had to pay for their own room.

This isn't undergrad college where you share a room. You are paid professionals and deserve to have your own room for training. I'm not sure how or why you folks can justify double occupancy and dress the guy down because he actually wants to be treated like an adult.

So when I deployed as a military officer and I had to share a room, I should have told them that I should get a single room because I am an adult and a professional?

Share a room, suck it up, move on.

Totally different.

You need to open your eyes.

Listen....


Its a smart business decision for the company to do it in two parts.
1. It saves them cash. Simple enough and you could stop right there.
2. You now have two people in close contact who can use each other to study. The small majority of time this doesn't work out is worth the positive outcome if it does work. Worse case scenario you get your own room because it doesn't work out.

If you want a single because you want "leisure time" or so you can be away from everyone you should expect to get a little ribbing for it.
Staying in a room with someone else doesn't make you "less professional".

Kids these days.......

"Just be happy with what you have, and accept it, just because......"

This type of rationalization and thought process, is at the core of everything that is wrong in the regional airline industry.

You are part of the problem. With this type of thinking nothing ever improves.
