because the person across the room isn't your freind he is a co worker. been through a few ground schools never shared a room and never failed a checkride. if you think sharing a room will help you pass a checkride i guess you can keep thinking that. what if that person snores like a chainsaw, has a different sleep patter, doesnt flush after dropping a duece, what if you just dont get along with the other guy. the list is so long why you shouldn't share rooms. not to mention it is a really big sign of how well(or bad in this case) the company treats its employees.

I agree with you, the excuse that having a roommate helps you pass ground school is just Kool Aid B.S. The company has double occupancy rooms for new hires for one reason only, to save $$$.
With that being said, It's pretty common at regionals to share a room. Colgan is not the only one who does this, but there are some that don't. I personally don't like sharing a room. I'm lucky I had a good roommate but wouldn't want to do it again.
As far as having a issue with your roommate, Colgan will help solve that problem. In my class some guys got their own rooms because one of them snored pretty loudly.

I have a 3 yearold at home also. Yes, it's nice to get a full 8 hours of sleep so that is one positive thing. As far as having a partner help you not fail a checkride, I dont know where Q-ball got that from. I never failed a checkride either. I guess being a former Marine has prepared me for sleeping with another person in the room for 4 weeks. Big friggin deal. I only said it's nice to have someone to throw questions at and maybe help one another out if there are questions. If the person snores or has issues that affect you then sac it up and say something to a person in the training department. We had an issue like that in ground and it was resolved immediately. Way to many momma's boys here. Whaaa, whaaa, whaaa.
