Renaissance in EWR is pretty good but around 95$. The doubletree is a little cheaper but not much

There are quite a few. If you are on FB, search the halfwingers page or the main United Pilots forum and it will give you some to look at. If you are on reserve then doing hotels is a huge gamble. I just came off a 6 day reserve sequence and would have only needed one hotel. A buddy of mine on the same footprint would have needed 4. That is cost prohibitive obviously.

What’s the time from to get ORD after training? I am guessing that the 737 has the best trips out of there and is the bigger footprint vs. the Bus?

The 737 has the best trips out of anywhere compared to the bus. A classmate of mine was able to get ORD on the first vacancy that was open after we started. Things are moving fast though. If it stays this way, you will be sitting around 75% on the 73 in ORD just 6 months in.

Try again. The next class started a day early so made it in for the bid. 1 day.
