Cattleack is in Farmers Branch, Pecan Lodge is in Deep Ellum.
Cattleack is only open for lunch Thursday and Friday, and often sell out. It's a bit of a process to get food there unfortunately, but it is really, really worth it.
Pecan Lodge is open for lunch every day expect Mondays. Usually 30-60min wait. It's a bit of a Dallas institution so it's slightly touristy.
Hard 8 is convenient and very good, but if you have a long sit or something in DFW, go check them out.

Bottom line, for those going to long term, is that access to a car will really open up options besides Whataburger and Jimmy John's.

Pecan Lodge is top stuff, but the wait is a killer sometimes. A good backup is Lockhart Smokehouse over in Bishop Arts District. The pie place next to Pecan Lodge has their original near Lockhart Smokehouse. Heim BBQ over in Ft. Worth is solid too.

Dallas actually has a really solid restaurant scene. It's just that there's a 10 mile death zone around the hotel with absolutely nothing inside it.
I've heard good things about Emporium, but I've actually never tried their pies. Are they worth it?
If anyone is at the hotel during the next week and a half or so, I'll be happy to drive around to get some decent food.

Cattelack for the pastrami (really), pecan lodge for the brisket, Lockhart for the sausage, and hard eight for the experience. Smoke at the Hotel Belmont is the best brunch BBQ (brunch in Dallas is a sport).
If you have a weekend off...take an Uber to the Katy Trail Ice House in Uptown.
Dallas is an awesome city for a young professional, if you can escape the confines of the training hotel.

I've never before had people say a hotel is "good" or "ok" and in the next breath describe slimy green mold that makes people sick as a common occurrence in the rooms. How much have they brainwashed you guys?

Be glad you guys never had to experience the Flagship Inn Resort, AKA "the black flag" or the Ballpark Inn as training hotels.
If you could look past the mold in the rooms, and the drug deals in the parking lot at the Black Flag, at least you could enjoy the scenery at the pool. The traveling dancers from the old Fantasy Ranch in Arlington stayed there. So it wasn't all bad I guess.

From what limited understanding I have gained in researching such things, proffer to displace if you think there is a chance that they will not displace everyone with enough hours. If you think that everyone will displace then proffering to displace will only have you lose out on paid move and send you to training sooner. If all FOs with time are moving to the left seat regardless then a proffer will not do anything with regards to what equipment because a displacement will trump those once it comes to that. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. I left an email with a union rep to verify this and they said they would call me but never did.
