How is this a great place to be? A contract with US Airways that is fast approaching its expiration date. Dirty, paint peeling, MEL ridden, old, E coli infested 50 seat planes. Managers walking around the F concourse in PHL with a clipboard writing down peoples names who aren't wearing their hats. Harassing emails if you call in sick telling you that you are on watch and that you better get healthy or you may get investigated.

The list goes on and on, I'm sure there are other places who are as bad or worse, but to say this is a great place and everyone really likes it here is just laughable.

Good luck to those interviewing, at least the money is better than most other regionals, until they try and throw the PSA joke of a contract in our face and demand more concessions.

I understand Indoc is conducted in Appleton. Are both Ground School and Sim training conducted in CLT?
Indoc and systems are both in ATW. Sim is in CLT or perhaps another location (I've heard MSP, YYZ, and even Germany....just rumors though). It will be single occupancy at all times. ATW is a La Quinta and CLT should still be at the Wingate. Good luck! Study!

Couldn't have said it better myself! I just scratch my head and wonder why new hires would come here?? They must have one heck of a faux presentation at the interviews!!

None of this isn't true yet this is still one of the better/best places to be.

Wow, is it really single occupancy for all the training? I thought all companies pretty much stick you with a room-mate!

The fact that this is a pretty true statement highlights just how unbelievably bad the regional airline industry is.
