As a reference I am going to need 28 nights worth of hotel rooms. I am going to stay start to finish. If you lived close and went home every now and then you could probably knock 4 or 5 nights off that.

Am I correct in that I must provide my own lodging during training, post indoc? I was just added to pool and trying to get my facts straight. Also assuming classes wont be until late fall for March interviews. That sound about right?

Yes, unless you get sent to an offsite training center, like the guys doing 717 training in MIA. Then the company will provide a hotel room.

It's almost scary how quiet it is below 250 knots with the gear up... The noise level does increase a good bit above 250 knots.

you mean at cruise? yes that is true. but you will have one on the rest of the time and cruise can be just a short portion of the flight.

I've got a couple questions about Delta's 401K.

1. On the Delta website, it says, "A 401(k) plan with a fixed 2% company contribution and a match up to 5%." But...I've also heard Delta puts 15% of your paycheck into a 401K with no matching required. Which is it?

2. What do most guys do for matching? Do you just let Delta contribute and not match? Or do you max out your personal contribution?

Thanks!

Delta puts 15 percent of your salary in. If you can afford to max out (17,500 per year), do it. Putting in your own money doesn't get you any more money from Delta, but it is the smart thing to do.

Yet a much longer portion of flight than your standard A320/319 leg..
