I know I'll do just fine no matter the conditions. I'm trying to avoid buying something in MIA that I could have brought from home, like an air compressor or a chainsaw

Thanks to all who've been so helpful over the 2+ years I've been applying and asking dumb questions. I'm looking forward to that 7am shuttle Monday!

We're not at the Marriott any more and stay at the Crowne Plaza just down the street instead so I can't speak to the internet quality. I haven't stayed there yet.
For the same reason, I'm afraid I can't answer the laundry question either.
There is an app available called "Flashcards Deluxe" that does a fine job. Once you get the app you can install the cards for:
747 Study Guide
Atlas Air 747-400 Limitations
Atlas Air Question Bank
Atlas Air 747-400 Air System
Atlas Air 747-400 Fire Protection
I've had this for about a year and it's a lot easier than writing out 3X5 cards and carrying a stack of them around.
Welcome to the family! I look forward to seeing you out there in the world somewhere.

I don't know what hotel the new hires are at, but hopefully it's not the crown plaza as the internet there is fairly slow and that would make getting the CBTs done for academics quite painful.
For those at the crown plaza, if you have an early sim and will miss breakfast, you can coordinate with front desk the night before to have it boxed up to go. You just have to give them a time and one of your vouchers and they will have it ready for pick up at your requested time. My sim partner and I did this for our PC and it worked out well.
Good luck and welcome aboard!

He passed so I don't know if it was the tie or not. LOL

I cannot speak to the tie. None of us wore them for the oral or flight check when I went thru but that was 767 training at Boeing.
I drove and it was really helpful. I am sure with the current hotel situation it pay dividends. I also brought a bike...I only rode it 2-3X but I think some of the local bike paths are routes are open again.
