You can travel if you wish. It takes a few days for your information to be loaded into the NWA system.
If this is your first 121 training experience, I would strongly urge you to stay here the entire time up to completing the systems exam. Sometimes individuals will have 3-5 days off between systems exam and the start of SSI (Integration training). You may also have a break between the completion of your oral and the start of sim training.
There is an enourmous amount of information in the first 5 weeks. Even with every intention of studying when you go home, it is easy to put it off and that could effect your performance in class.
You are an adult and Mesaba will treat you like one. Free to make your own decisions about travelling while in training. Your responsibility is only to be on time for class, score 80% or above on exams, memorize the required material and learn your flows, calls and profiles. If you have been through 121 training before, you know what it takes. If you have not, consider my advice and plan to NOT travel during your initial training.
Good Luck and Welcome to Mesaba.
