About 2 blocks down from the Crowne Plaza in KSAT is Olympic Gym. 5 bucks to work out. It's where alot of world class powerlifters and bodybuilders train. It's a great gym, everyone is huge as hell but super friendly.

Contact training scheduling. They usually handle that stuff.

In regard to dropping deadheads in the US/AA system, would you call and drop it or not say anything so you still get credit for it?

In the AA/US system in the past. I use to jumpseat home and not notify crew-trac. The reason being is that I have heard sometimes they will not drop your dead head. Saying they could use you for a JA. Anyway use my advice at your own risk. It's a UFW and maybe a call from the chief if you get caught. In the UA system you have to log into Skynet and cancel your reservation. If not, the company is fined by United, in turn you get fined.

I love SafeLog. It's really easy to use on their website, and the iPhone/iPad apps are great. I like that I can print a PDF logbook showing any fields I want. The option to view all your flights on a map in the app, or have the website map them to Google maps or Google Earth is really neat. Their customer support has been great, though I haven't used them much because I haven't encountered any real problems.

I made an excel spreadsheet that calculates every kind of time I need. I tried putting it all in logten pro but didn't really like it. I like excel because it's free (assuming you have office) and fully customizable to fit your needs. And I keep it on Dropbox so it's in the cloud and on all my computers. Drawbacks are I can't use an iPad or iPhone very easily to input data. So I write everything I need from my trips and update at the end or in the hotel if I bring a computer.
