There is service from ATL-DAY off line. Delta has several flights daily. AirTran used to provide service between ATL-DAY. After the merger with Southwest, I'm not certain they're continuing that city pair. Delta also serves the ATL-TYS and ATL-CLT markets.

DAY has a lot of Delta commuters to ATL as well as former AirTran types.

Depending on where you are in Atlanta TYS is drivable and you should have a line right out of training.

Edit: Eh, just looked, it's 186 road miles from downtown Atlanta. That said, you could stay there until you hold a line in CLT and make your commute pretty easy.

By the time you are done with training, you will be able to hold any of the 3 if that matters to you.

Are travel privileges limited to US/American Airlines, or can you travel on partners (one world)?

Your wife, or if single you can identify one person to be in that spot(I know single guys that give privileges to their siblings instead). Also your kids and your parents(not in-laws). All these travel on AA and US for free. You can get what's called "ZED" fares for many other airlines but it does cost a little (usually 10-20% of a normal ticket), and is lower form of standby.

You also get 16 one way "buddy passes" per year to be used on AA/US, which also costs money.

You, the pilot, can travel on pretty much any US airline for free.

Actually, I'm at the Clarion. Not a bad hotel and it does have shuttle service mon and fri to the grocery store. Free gym less than a mile away (shuttle will take you), Free hot breakfast and free lunch (which fairfield inn doesn't have), Heated pool if you have time. pretty cool amenities for this place. Has a restaurant down stairs too.

Ive met some people in my class already and few of them are CFI background and when I looked around it was a lot of older people too. Ill get more details later.

The Clarion is much nicer than the Fairfield. Enjoy.

You CAN choose in laws, but they won't fly for free. Its still a great benefit for them, however. You're correct, sir...just expounding a bit

So they you'll either stay at the Clarion or Fairfield during training? What determines which one you get?
