Thanks for the insights.
No worries. Assuming you have a significant other waiting for you on the other end they are synonymous.

If a new hire isn't fortunate to be sent to MIA and have a paid for hotel room....

What are some options during training in ATL? I looked on airbnb but the prices are more fit for a 12 year Captain.

Thanks for the help ahead a time.

There are a lot of hotels on Virginia Ave. You'll pay $65/night and up. Maybe you can get lucky and find something a little less expensive.

My advice to new hires is to suck it up and pay for a single occupancy hotel. It is the option with the fewest potential distractions since you don't have to worry about roommates, transportation, or a long commute. It's $2,000 in a $5 million career. The numbers work out favorably.

Some of the guys in my class shared a two-bedroom suite at the Residence Inn. Especially if you share with your sim partner (matched schedules), that sounds like a good option to save a little money. Walkable to the sims, includes breakfast and there's a kitchen.

I hope we can change this. It's disgraceful that we burden our new hires with this stress.

That right there seems like a good idea! I stayed at the Residence Inn for the interview. It was a little spendy but the full-size fridge, stove, dishwasher, dishes, etc would be nice and and it's an easy walk to HQ. I remember thinking it would be a good long-term stay option. Might have to price this out.

Stay away from econo lodge. Not the best place to stay in that area. 3 Palms or Wellesley would be better if you are looking for cheap in that area.
