Need MEM vehicle for BI & Training
What do folks do for "short term" vehicle requirements? Rentals seem a bit much at $200+/week; and for a couple of months, doesn't seem to make sense to buy a beater (assuming there's even a market to choose from). I'm headed to CGN so I definitely don't need/want a MEM "crash pad vehicle". I start BI on 2 May. Thx.

This won't work because you won't have a sim partner. You will have seat support the entire time. Unless you get paired with a upgrading Captain.
I would say though the majority of people running through the system are getting seat support.

Dollar.com usually has the best week long (or longer) rentals. Click the "city special box" that pops up after you enter in your dates.
Rent one for 2 x weeks and then like other guys are saying, see if you need to rent it for a couple of more or someone you meet there has a car you can borrow.

Thanks to all for the replies and input. Sounds like there are some short term (two week) options for BI and then I'll figure out the sim training portion.
Still hunting for a crash pad as well... good times.

When we had the last big hiring wave in 2001, the crash pad availability was almost nothing. Most pilots just found friends in the first few days of BI and went in on apartments and started their own places.
It all seemed to work out.
