As far as the hotel situation.... I personally thought the Wingate is perfectly fine, and I honestly didn’t have a large problem with the Ocho. I’ve been at better hotels, yes, but I’ve also been at worse hotels. I also spent time in the military, so take it for what it’s worth. But I’ve seen better (by far), and I’ve seen worse.
Some people just like to complain brother. $17,500 bonus, paid for vacation during wait, your own hotel room. They want some 5 star stuff! Mommy Daddy sheltered them a little too much. Welcome to the real world.

Yeah, this ain’t the military bud. There’s enough of “embracing the suck” as it is to get to mainline that we don’t need the super 8 to add to it. With all that said there are some legit safety issues with that place.

I mean.... they could always put us in that motel that’s literally right next to the Ocho... the one with the outside doors and stuff. ;p

I WILL say this. I only spent 4 days at the Ocho, so my knowledge of it is fairly limited. I had an incredibly loose toilet seat, that basically made me have to treat the toilet as a squatty potty, but they replaced it promptly after I reported it. That was the only issue that I had with it, other than you have to keep getting the front desk worker to come over and pour the beer for you. I’m sure other people have legit stories about it, and I don’t doubt them. The Wingate is better, though.

Strong words from someone not on property yet. Not once did I say 5 star, just wait till you stay there. And if I must, I was in the military as well so I know what the real world is.

Aviation is the only industry I’ve ever seen where people will attack other people for pointing out a super-8 is probably a sub-par place to put professionals that have spent half a decade and six figures or more in training.

Do you think google, Boeing, mainline, or any other reputable company puts their employees, even new hires, in a super eight for training?

Plenty of majors don't pay for your hotel during training.

You do have a valid point. I have no problem eating some crow for some of my sentiment, because I’ve never really looked at it from this perspective.

Top be fair, people who say the Super 8 is fine have also been "attacked" in the past both on here and the Facebook group.

Just because someone said it doesn't mean its true. I was NEVER put in a super 8 ever during training. Winngate suites with a living room, Drury inn Suite, a really nice La Quinta inn with a 55 inch LED TV and soft King size. Not sure where people are getting sub par from. Probably people who have never worked or trained a day in their life for Republic!

If you spent 6 figures for training you just over paid.

BTW Republic is going to be in 5k for CTP course another 1k at least for hotel during that course. $3500 x 3 months pay while I sit at home. Plus the cost of hotels during that training at least 2-3k. Then a $17,500 bonus. Your looking at 35k investment before I even stepped in the door. Sure the bonus is laid out over time. But it is what it is.
