I'd commute to either, but that's just me.

DTW would probably be cheaper. As far as safety, who knows? Probably about the same.

Also, for every airline's training: never be that guy in class that starts every sentence/ question with "at my previous airline we did xxxxx....". Don't ever bring any attitude into the building, don't make comments during class that you think are funny, just be quiet and deal with boredom. If you meet someone in the chief pilot's office a year from now and they have never heard your name you are doing things right.
If someone with a higher pay scale than you gives you a hard time in training, remember: Cooperate---> Graduate.

I lived in the west suburbs of DTW for 3 years... nice area to live! (seriously).

I believe you are now in the Fairfield in O.B.

Well I know that the class that started on Feb 28th is in the Memphis international hotel. I'm in that class and that is where I am sitting right now.
