I think Memphis offers something for everyone. If you like downtown city life, the area around Main Street and South Main downtown have grown substantially and offer a smaller city life with plenty of nightlife and great restaurants. Mid-town is seeing explosive growth with the addition of several large high end apartment buildings and is experiencing revitalization of older homes. If the suburbs are your thing, Germantown and Collierville are safe, mature communities. Whereas Arlington and Lakeland are the new places to be with large homes and a very good school system. If you want small town, country life or rural life, there’s several really nice areas just outside Memphis to include some cities in Mississippi and Arkansas. Several folks live in the Nashville area and drive to work (2-3 hour drive).

insight after indoc
For planning purposes, does anyone have any insight on what to expect after indoc? Time gap between that and equipment training. Also am I to assume that finding a place to stay and transport are on our own at that time? Appreciate any input and apologize if this has been stated in past parts of this thread.

You could have several weeks off and you could have one day off like me after indoc. And you are correct about the transportation and lodging after indoc.

Applied to FedEx
I recently applied to FedEx, I am wondering if anyone used a gouge prep site such as Ready-Set-Takeoff? Are they worth the $500? While reading through posts, it seems hit or miss as to using a prep site or not! Thoughts please!

Do not show up to an airline interview without getting some consultant help.
Do not go to a prep unless you have an interview. You want to get the most updated information you can.

I had Emerald Coast look over my app. There were no glaring errors, but they provided some very good feedback. I also used Cage Consulting out of Denver a year or two later. They also provided useful information about the minutia, like using the proper font so the application could be sorted easier by the computer. Albeit 6 years ago, but I am glad I did it.

Also, buy a ticket to come here for the interview. Don't just jumpseat on someone. Come up a day early. Schedule a last minute mock HR interview with Emerald Coast on that day. Tell your family you are unavailable during those 3 days. Spend and hour or two a day for 3-4 weeks prepping, rehearsing TMAAT stories, polishing your logbooks, etc.
