They'll pretty much positive space you anywhere you need to be.
A visit to the National Museum of the Air Force should be considered mandatory. Get there right when it opens and register for the bus to the X-Plane hangar, or whatever it's called.
Google is your friend.
The Clarion has a Meijer next door; I don't know about the other hotel.
Best advice anyone can give you.
No idea. Apparently CLT can be had pretty quick, you'll probably spend the longest time on reserve in CLT though.
Ever hear of Jepps?

Thanks guys, I have been studying my Jepp plates and feel pretty confident with them. I was thinking of using foreflight/stratus as just another tool to help out in the cockpit. Wx, progressive taxi, etc... That thing comes in pretty handy sometimes.

Also, how short of notice before your class date did you receive a travel itinerary? Those I've talked to in the January 5th class haven't heard a peep about it. I figured with the holidays it probably wasn't a high priority for them, but I'm hoping I hear something by early next week.

I'm going to PM you in just a minute but wanted to let you know I inquired about the travel and was told we will be space positive from home and for any other travel and to expect a follow up email regarding travel next week.

No you can not use you ipad or any other Personal Electronic Device in the cockpit.

Okay thank you. A penny saved is a penny earned I suppose.

There are a lot of things to do next to the Fairfield Inn, all in walking distance. Also Walmart in walking distance

Is everyone getting the base they want after IOE or does PSA kinda tell you where to go?

You bid for what you want. Seems like guys can get CLT not long after training.

I know guys getting clt before starting IOE. Don't know how long that will last. Not sure how the lines are being divided since Mesa is pulling out.

I am in the Jan 19th class, and have a few questions.

Is TYS still most junior, then DAY, them CLT? I will be commuting from DFW and CLT is my first choice. If assigned something other than CLT, I understand I can bid for it at the next vacancy.

They told us during the interview that there are vacancy bids every two weeks as that is how frequently there are new hire classes, is this still the case?

How long after being awarded a new base does the transfer occur?

Would bidding DAY in the hopes of holding a line sooner and then only transferring to CLT once I can hold a line be a good strategy?

With regards to the SAP, would it be feasible to pick up a two-day that has a show after your released on day 4? This getting a five day in to ease the commute?

Thanks
