UPS School
Can anyone that has recently passed through UPS school give advice on taking a car to training?
I plan on driving down to Lousiville from Northeast, PA (11 hour drive), but the Hampton Inn only has me scheduled for 14 days. Then I assume that I will be going somewhere else for MD-11 training?
My questions are:
Will I be leaving my Jeep in Louisville the whole 10-12 weeks of training, or will I be driving it back here to the Northeast before I head out to MD-11 school?
Where will they likely send the MD-11 new-hire students?
Do most students jumpseat home on the weekends?
Thanks for the help. I am looking forward to meeting all the April 23rd noobies.

A car is probably a good idea. About half of my class had cars. You'll be in SDF for longer than 14 days. If you're heading out to LGB for MD-11 sims you will still go back to SDF after your checkride for long range nav crap. Regarding jumpseating, you'll have your ID and CASS info by the end of week one and you should have a couple of three or four day weekends that you can get home on.
See ya in ANC

Another possibility, and I'm shooting from the hip, is that you might be at the Hampton Inn for two weeks because the "normal" hotel wasn't available. The most commonly used hotel in SDF in the Hurstborne Holiday Inn. I've also seen the Clarion and the Envoy used in the past, for long term training. The Hampton Inn is a new one.
