What about parking at the airport? How does that work as a United pilot?
The downtown hotel is where you’ll be for fleet training. Shuttles to and from TK. Plenty of bars/restaurants an easy walk. Target down the street has groceries or there is a Whole Foods further down near Union Station. Near TK there’s also a Walmart and I think a Costco but don’t quote me on that. If you want access to stuff you don’t need a car. FWIW the downtown hotel has a whole study lounge set up and dedicated to us with rooms for each fleet, a fridge and a microwave available as well. Generally it’s been pretty easy to get a fridge in your room if you don’t already have one. Laundry expenses are paid so don’t bother dragging your suitcase and clothes back and forth. In fact a local place does a flat rate $20 pick up and drop off laundry service (bags and instructions are in the study lounge). Receipt for expense report in the bag on return. Easy. You can also use the hotel service also.
