My questions are:

Will I be leaving my Jeep in Louisville the whole 10-12 weeks of training, or will I be driving it back here to the Northeast before I head out to MD-11 school?

Where will they likely send the MD-11 new-hire students?

Do most students jumpseat home on the weekends?

Thanks for the help. I am looking forward to meeting all the April 23rd noobies.
Remember Derby is coming up so hotels are at a premium, don't be surprised if where you stay changes. Car is a good idea, but not necessary someone in your class will have one. With your UPS ID it gives you access to secure parking so if you do go to Long Beach you can leave it in SDF till you finish. Also remember you are given a hotel till completion of IOE including your release to the line check. By the way in Long Beach you will share a car with your sim partner (so I have been told). Welcome aboard see ya in ANC.
