Where are new hires staying at these days? All that was mentioned was "an extended stay" hotel. Is having a personal vehicle at training highly desirable or not really necessary? I'd be driving about 10 hours to get there if I decide to bring my vehicle.

Phoenix they just changed the hotel but I heard it's a little better location. I rented a car when I was out in phx
Only the 200 sims are in PHX correct? 900 sims in MSP?
Also, could any current Endeavor pilot that flies in the ANG/AFR please PM me for some specific questions?
Thanks fellas!

There are -200 sims in MSP in PHX. You can be sent to either. The 900 sim is in MSP only.

More noob questions...sorry.
Is there any significant difference in pay between the 200 and 900? I realize there are many variables. Just looking for averages. I understand that there's a couple $/hr pay difference. How does that equate to overall earnings when considering actual block/credit per airframe?
E.g. Do 200 guys get more hours negating the pay difference?

The pay difference is negligible. Pick up one extra day of flying on the 200 and you just exceeded the hourly difference.
For me, I chose the 200 for movement and seniority. Didn't want to sit for months on RSV in the 900 as a FO. Or year on RSV as a CA. Yes, the EDV heavy crew gets the occasional leftover meal, and for sure the "walk of shame" is shorter on the 900. But once the cockpit door is shut, it's a jet. Flies really fast and blows out bus windows that happen to drive behind you.
