It all depends on sim availability and stuff like that.

Any idea about the cost of a single room during training?

Financial "interest" or investment into the post merger American. (Aka we financially invest in you and you award us flying...)

With the exception of the restaurants in the Hilton and the courtyard Marriott around the corner, there isn't much within walking distance. If you can swing driving, I highly recommend it.

Ground school is usually m-f but Fpt and sim runs 7 days/week.

Come on man. You have to jump back on this train again. I have backed off. But you just can't help it. I don't keep up with online pranking pop culture so I took "COME AT ME BRO" as a threat. But I now realize you guys are just a few younger jokesters. And stop saying "I bet he doesn't lift". A lot of guys in aviation lift. My friend that flies for Allegiant starts his warmup at three plates a side. Yes you guys got me and I made myself look like an ass. But I'm done.

I have many friends that are airline pilots that lift more than I do.
"Do you even lift?"
"I bet he doesn't even lift"
"Come at me bro"

All Internet memes.

I've been hearing this as well...basically what has been said is that United wants MAG to fly 60ejets for UAX (IDK the exact #)...however on the same coin realizes that MAG has no pilots nor really strong prospects to attract pilots yet offers the cheapest services. In order to avoid contractual protections and compensation to attract applicants MAG has secured a line of credit to purchase a fellow regional purely to park said regionals aircraft and to employ the then plane-less pilot. Which one ... Well which one seems most lucrative towards JO and is now the read headed step child of US/AMR post merger? Eagle (50seaters and a strong yet costly pilot group.) or is it piedmont (aging dash 8s and stronger pilot group than PSA.) Clearly a regional will be loadshed and heaven help any thats ends up contractually stapled to MAG. Everything is purely hearsay...however MAG has now ramped up hiring again with a class of 27 or so that just started in PHX. All shows

People don't realize how connected J.O. And really how stubb*rn this man is?

*this is not intended to be flamebait

Eagle could be it but may be too big. Maybe delta is getting ready to get rid of Endeavor after the whipsaw. We all know delta is not going to keep them too long. Just speculating...
