Noob question here,
Do Atlanta based commuters get hotels for sim training in Atlanta? Everything I can find says no or doesn't mention it. Seems like we can get positive space to the event but no hotel. Am I missing something?
If you don't get a hotel, are ATL commuters that have been at the company for years and years staying in a crashpad when they change aircraft and have to do a month of training?
Thanks in advance.

APD 31 March is your safest bet. I don't know how senior you are and if you can control your April schedule, but if you can then bid reserve with 1-3 April off and use a golden day on the 1st. If it's a really good reason then you might be able to convince your CP to drop the trip for you if it becomes a factor.
Not senior (~77%-ish). Trying to avoid bidding RES for Apr (and, that 77% will get me a line if I so choose), otherwise I'd do exactly what you suggest re Golden X on 1 Apr. My worry is bidding the line, bidding off those days (cause, you know, I need them... off!!), then being told "Congratulations, here's your carry-out trip!" Looking hard at the APD on 31 Mar as the only true "guarantee"--but, if I can hit 1 Apr with that APD (on a REG off day), so much the better....
Thanks for the pointers!

Ferd149,
For what it's worth, I was in Saipan 11 days ago and had a talk with the station manager. He told us that in May we would increase to two flights a day from NRT. Last month it was one turn a day from NRT and KIX. He said the tourism is really down, partly due to the damage of hotels from last years storm. ??? I did not think they were that bad but he said they were.
He did make the comment that the Russian traffic was starting to die off as well. I guess there is some type of waver on the visa requirements to visit Guam or Saipan.
Hopefully things will pick up.

Question for the savvy NYC commuters. I know how to get between JFK-LGA. How do you go about getting from LGA-EWR and vice versa and between JFK-EWR and vice versa. I know heavy train use is involved, some more detail will be helpful.
Also I know the short call out is approx. 2 hours. I could stay about an hour east of JFK and 1:15 from LGA. Is that acceptable or do I need to be able to get to EWR within the 2 hours as well.
