Good place for a haircut?
Good grocery store?
Any advice for those of us whom will be working towards our first jet type/airline job?
Can anyone tell me if CLT is still attainable right off of IOE and if there are any updates to how long some guys are sitting reserve?
Should I spend the money to update my foreflight subscription and will my personal ipad be usable once I'm flying?

Thanks guys, I have been studying my Jepp plates and feel pretty confident with them. I was thinking of using foreflight/stratus as just another tool to help out in the cockpit. Wx, progressive taxi, etc... That thing comes in pretty handy sometimes.
Also, how short of notice before your class date did you receive a travel itinerary? Those I've talked to in the January 5th class haven't heard a peep about it. I figured with the holidays it probably wasn't a high priority for them, but I'm hoping I hear something by early next week.

And lastly, I've spoken to some guys in the early January class, but if anyone else wants to, feel free to PM me.

You bid for what you want. Seems like guys can get CLT not long after training.

I am in the Jan 19th class, and have a few questions.
Is TYS still most junior, then DAY, them CLT? I will be commuting from DFW and CLT is my first choice. If assigned something other than CLT, I understand I can bid for it at the next vacancy.
They told us during the interview that there are vacancy bids every two weeks as that is how frequently there are new hire classes, is this still the case?
How long after being awarded a new base does the transfer occur?
Would bidding DAY in the hopes of holding a line sooner and then only transferring to CLT once I can hold a line be a good strategy?
With regards to the SAP, would it be feasible to pick up a two-day that has a show after your released on day 4? This getting a five day in to ease the commute?
Thanks
