They use a bunch of hotels since there are so many. HH points will not be given automatically. Since what we are on was called a Master Bill, we are not eligible. I got lucky and fought for it before they nipped it in the bud. Yes, Spirit paid that much just for my hotel. It's no wonder why training pay is miniscule.
Training pay is that low because “the union” (pilots already here over a year) will not use up any negotiating capital to improve that and the company is still getting plenty to come aboard with the current year one/training pay.
We don’t need to make any other excuses.

The ugly truth is for the last 10+ years the MEC(s) we have had, none have felt negotiating money should be used on pilots not on property. This is why the last contract had first year pay at $38.50 for the entire length of the contract, no date of signing increases.

I’m fairly certain we’ve beaten this topic to death on previous thread(s).

You are absolutely right. We in aviation have a horrible habit of eating our young.
The only way this will ever change is if the company decides that they want to do it because they aren’t getting enough good applicants, or too many are leaving, or whatever other reason they might have... And even then, I am sure that the rest of us will insist on getting more before the “newhires” get any.
