I'm coming from just a few hours away (from DAY and CVG)... Is it worth it to bring a car for convenience, or should I just fly in?

Drive!!!!!!! You'll be there for a while. I drove 9 hours and kept my truck there for almost 6 weeks.

You'll probably deadhead into clt from nearest airport then deadhead for day. What a waste of a day flying.

Roger, thanks for the perspective.

You'll save so much time driving to and from the training center rather than being at the mercy of the shuttle packed full of students. May not even have room for everyone too.

If you were less than an 8 Hour drive, I would bring my car. It is worth it.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. You will get time to go home. There are laundry facilities at the hotel, or catch the van to a laundry mat.

We keep our bags in the overhead on flights when we are working.
I wasn't worried, just looking at it from the worst case scenario perspective and that is I'm leaving for 3 months and not coming home. Since home is in South Florida its not exactly a hop skip and jump to get there. So I definitely want to bring enough stuff but not too much.

So is it just one standard bag in the overhead bin or is there room for more ? i.e. - I've seen some people have a "lunch box" bag and/or a briefcase/computer bag too.

Most people bring a standard 22" stealth and a small "flight kit" of some sort. The Rollerboard goes in the overhead in the back, and the flight kit goes up front. Some people use a laptop bag. Others use their old Jepp kit (with no Jepps in it).

I would say about half (or less) of the pilots bring a cooler with them, at least on some of the trips.
