No pay in training? No hotel?

No hotel while in training? Make sure you bring a large box or tent to live in while you are there. For meals, will they atleast give you bread and water?

just sleep at the training center.

Given the part of town they put new hires up in, you might actually be better off getting your own hotel. A hotel stay is probably less than replacing your car after it gets stolen.....

Isn't that all of Memphis?

FWIW... the company and ALPA (all 3 MEC's) are working on getting furloughs back to flying first and foremost. Any pilots brought in (whether on a recall list or street) will go through training just as the last class did at 9E(late 2008 I believe) and will be same level or better than Colgan classes ongoing. I have not heard a single word about the hotel or training "allowance" being "yanked". In the event of XJ recalls there are contractual provisions that would kick in as well. If you want to post things otherwise please source it appropriately. There are enough rumors around causing pilot on pilot hatred over NO FACTS.

I have one student that was supposed to start class couple years ago and his class was yanked due to economy. I talked to him today and he said no has contacted him regarding a class date.

So is this class just for the Mesaba furloughs?

Think dog feces in a doorway smeared on a white carpet when you open the door "level."

To my knowledge any pilots in the pool were "flushed" and are able to re-apply.
