My new computer came with IE 9. I tried to use it. I ended up installing IE 8. DAL IT doesn't support IE 9. There are all sorts of things that just go to a blank screen. I called IT and they said that they were working on supporting it. It's been out over a year. Now I know how the Apple guys feel.
Fortunately APC is the only site so far that doesn't work. DAL works fine. Tried the compatability setting thing, but that didn't work either.

I don't see why people are all bent out of shape over the hotel for newhires deal. Our newhire pay is better than anyone else out there and the health insurance kicks in day 1. That more than offsets the cost of putting yourself up for a couple of weeks.
We do get single occupancy hotels during indoc and then we are on the hook during sim training. I ran behind the hotel we were in for indoc, found a crash pad in less than 10 minutes (there are tons back in that neighborhood), and had a house to stay in the entire month for $250. I had a full kitchen, private room, and a nice living room to study in. Beat the heck out of a hotel room for a month. If I had to do it all over again and I had a company paid hotel, I'd go pay for a crashpad again on my own dime.

Bingo! Our new hire package is one of the best in the industry. This forum is full of cherry pickers who never look at the overall context of what they are complaining about. 250 dollars or pay your own health insurance for 6 months and earn half the pay? Lets see which do I choose?

I am staying with my son in LAS for a few days and want to do my quarterly cq while he is at work. The only computer available is a MacBook Pro. Has anyone had any trouble completing it on a mac?

Does the new payscale on APC just reflect the new rates as of July 1 or what the contract provides total over the next 3 years?
Side note: Compass does not provide new hires with paid hotel rooms either for training.

If one were to be hired during the next hiring window, how long would it take to hold a SLC base?

I would plan NYC/DTW if hired, but hiring may be a ways off.
