When they hired me 6/14, I was handed a letter that basically said there are two choices for accomodations, all 100% covered by Comair. They said the furnished apartment thing is nice.

1. Single occupancy hotel - w/kitchenette type setup

2. Double occupancy 2 bedroom/2 bath fully furnished apartment incl. washer/dryer, 2 tv's w/cable & wireless internet.

#2 is definitely more attractive. It's good to have a live-in study/sim partner (as long as there's enough personal space). Double occupancy hotel rooms would definitely suck.

I have a 2006 Audi A3 that already has 35,000 miles on it. Adding another 4,000 plus local miles is a big bite. I might look in to flying out and getting a long term rental or buying a beater to get around town with.

I've stayed at hotels for extended periods before and it sucks. It get's expensive and old eating takeout EVERY day. I like to cook anyway. (BTW, ramen noodles in a coffee pot sounds as good as grilled cheese on an iron)

A couple of good friends were December new hires and they have nothing but nice things to say about Comair and are very happy. It is one of the few places where I've heard nothing negative from people I know and trust.

Yes, it's still a regional and my eyes are wide open.

Looking forward to class. 8/27 is a pretty long wait. I can't wait to meet everyone.

 

Ya, Im pretty excited too. I have heard a lot of good things about Comair and everyone I know there is happy (In comparison with other carriers). I put in for the apartment, got an '03 Saab 9³ to tool around in, so I think it's going to be much better than the hotel. Im really excited, it is kind of a bummer to wait for training so long, but Im just happy to be on board.

 

Are you comming from the west coast? There is one kid that doesnt have a car, but we are all in the same hotel so he just catches rides with us.... In the apartment it might be harder if you didnt have a car! Everything is really spread out here, and even the radisson which is (downtown kinda) is hard to walk places... im curious which hotel has the kitchenette..... Its certainly not the holiday inn, I wish we had at least that! Im dying to make some eggs....haha! 1 more week or so!

 

Ill at least have my car at the apartments, and I'm sure several others will too. I have no problem carpooling with those who don't have vehicles.

 

Looking forward to meeting you all. I've got a list of some memory items we will be learning if anyone is interested, just PM me.

 

I am very interested, I cannot PM you, you dont meet the required number of posts (like 10 or something).

 

I'm in the 7/30 class, hopefully I'll have some time to prowl the boards and give you guys the heads up on some stuff.

 

Dont worry about memory items if you were not given them directly from the Training department you will have enought time for Memory Items and Flows when you get there..

 

Its never too early to start knowing them, ecspec when Comair just started their written exam where you need 100%....... I wish I started sooner...

 

Paok I thought you were online already.. if not how is training
