I'll worry about spelling and grammar if I get furloughed. Until then I just need to know how to fly airplanes.

CAL did. Paid for the internet as well

Hotel paid for in training, and positive space home and back for any
2 days off in a row or greater

You sure UAL didn't pay for hotel in training? I thought they took pretty good care of new hires.

You probably have to go overseas to find an airline with any form of class that will pay for not only your hotel, but food too.

Any carriers in the US interviewing have have any class???

I'm absolutely 100% sure UAL didn't pay for the hotel or food in training, and it was six weeks long. (Except for one really good dinner!) Denver doesn't have the cheapest hotels during ski season either. We did get positive space flights home on days off though and health insurance on day one. Remember the guy that got mugged and hurt really bad walking from the training center to his cheap hotel nearby?

We were on full payroll with immediate effect with the date stamp in our passport on arrival into the country. Wait it gets even worse. Full service 5 star accommodations with a living room and bedroom... did I say paid by the company? OK I have to pay for my own internet which comes to about $12 US per month. Oh the abuse one must put up with.

Yeah... I can't wait to work for a US carrier again.

I read throught there BS and wanted to know everything about them before I quit my job to go to a crapper one. All those guys who wanted HEAVY time now lost their seniority at there last job. Be very careful who you apply for , you may just get it and be out of a job in a few months. These jobs sound like a couple of airlines I worked for, stay away from start-up. They mostly go belly-up.
there= a location
their= ownership
they're= they are

really?
