Why don't we just stay at [a location near the training center] They'll take you where you need to go if you don't want to walk. Of the company could buy one of the hotels from say Doubletree, not the one across the street, but the old Red Lion. And then run it as a crew hotel only. Need your UAL ID to get in, just like TK. |

Try not to take these other responder literally--some trolls. If you are new, you don't know the neighborhood around TK. We, LUAL, were cautiously hopeful TK would move a couple of years ago when they were trying to decide what to do, where to go for training. Since Stapleton closed, what, 20 years ago?? The neighborhood around TK has dramatically deteriorated. It wasn't all that good when it was open, and it has steadily gone downhill. Several years ago, we had a couple of different incidents where pilots were mugged. One in broad daylight, aa new hire, and others. One with serious injuries. These are the reasons for the hotel vans to just go across the street, and all the warnings in the training material about your personal safety around TK. The mall and restaurants across the street are tempting to walk to, daylight is ok, don't even think about it at night. It might make sense for UAL to buy the Double Tree, and we have owned hotels in the past, the Seaside in HNL. But they seem to not be interested. So, it's a puzzle at best. TK neighborhood is not good, airport you are a hostage, and downtown is pretty nice--but lots of homeless, and a long van ride both ways. Ideas? |

Call me crazy but if memory serves, the last time United got into the hotel business it didn't work out so great.

It doesn't matter that he's new, if in fact he is, no SA. No slack. |

Trolls? How'd you like your layover schedule and hotels posted online? Now multiply that by 12,000.

Isn't it the neighborhood to the west that's a little rough (behind the doubletree). I go running past TK to the east and everything is brand new. I personally know two families that have bought houses to the SE of TK. Both have young kids and one is a buddy at southwest.

West of Quebec St. (Street that Doubletree is on) is bad. Everything else is very nice now. Lots of money being injected into Stapleton.
