Default Hotels for type rating in Miami

If you are doing your 737 type in Miami, book early here;
Book a Hotel - Search Hotels by Map | Extended Stay America
The winter rates go up and the schools will book you late and you will miss these rates. I just found this out. I was quoted 110$ for their rate and I got 72.00$. Pretty big difference for ten days. Best of luck.

Rumor I heard is 500 pilots next year minimum! That is unless Ebola kills everyone off.

6 interviewed with me, 3 had type and 3 did not. I did not have type and I was hired.

Were you already scheduled to get the type? I've heard some say they would wait until getting called for an interview and then scheduling the type for a later date. That way they could say it's scheduled when asked about it at the interview.

Yeah, there were two guys in my HPA 737 type class this summer that were hired by SWA...obviously without the type cause that's why they were at HPA.

The "good rumors"? Yeah, we're getting 787s, Paris starting next year, 1,000 upgrades annually.
