Does the company pay for air fare to/from training?

Is there much to do around the area on the weekends? I will have my truck if I need to get around.

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?

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