During the interview i chose STL as my base, hopefully i'll be senior enough in my class to have it as an option. i plan on cummuting from the Indy area, so i'll spend my free time during training hunting down a decent crashpad.


I'm in the Nov class, and am assigned to RIC even though I asked for STL. They said I'll probably be reassigned within a few months though.
So don't be surprised if you're temporarily in RIC.

As far as finding housing after training, you're on your own. If you're RIC based, there's a bunch of good crashpads around here and you don't need a car. I'm shacked up with a couple TSA pilots as we speak.

Training is a real kick in the gut if you're not financial ready for it. Save now.


Any good links or way to find a crashpad in RIC? Any how don't you need a car?
