Hope to see you guys here soon.

Perhaps a non-sequitur, but any advantage to having a car in DFW during training? What's the percentage of sims in DFW vs elsewhere, like CLT, and how does that differ between 320 and 737?

You can manage fine in DFW without a car, if I wasn't planning on going home on my days off I'd probably want my own vehicle, though.

All the 737 sims are at GSW. CLT is just 320's now, and the training center in CLT is scheduled to close, probably starting around the end of the year. With everything moving to GSW.

GSW is the company code for the DFW training center. It sits on what used to be the Greater Southwest airport, pre DFW.

They do use some other off site sims when they get real busy, CAE in DFW, and Boeing in MIA are the two that come to mind for the 737.

There are food options within walking distance from both training hotels the company uses in DFW. Not a ton, but you can certainly get by. The Atrium (primary hotel) has a restaurant and bar on site, and free breakfast (pre covid, at least). Some okay areas to go for a run but nothing spectacular. The gym is actually not bad. The candle wood suites is usually available upon request but now that I think of it I don’t think they put new hires over there, and being with all your class mates is definitely a big positive. Hope this helps

Yes to the car. We have 737 sims in MIA and also at another location in DFW but I don't think they are typically used for new hire training. Not 100% on the bus but both DFW and CLT are options with the CLT ones winding down soon.

Definitely bring the car to initial training. You can get by without it, but it will make your life a lot easier to have it. If I’m going to be in Dallas for more than a couple days, then I drive, but it’s only a 4 or 5 hour drive for me.
