Taking POV to Initial training???

Hi all! I'm considering taking my POV to DEN for training next year but I am curious if I will have enough time in-between Initial and IOE to either get back home or to my given base for IOE? It's roughly 14 hours to get to DEN for me (Midwest). Thanks in advance for your input.

No worries there. My buddy drove from Montreal to Denver for training. On his way back he passed thru Chicago to review a couple of chrashpads. Makes it easier, and gives you leeway on weekend activities

Worst case stash it long-term where ever, JS to where you need to be, then JS back to finish the road trip.

I'm 100% taking mine to initial in SLC.. 9 weeks without a vehicle doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
It would just be sitting in my garage anyway.
but... 23 hour road trip to SLC.. that's going to be a drag.

^^^Create your own “Pod Cast” with the CRJ or ERJ limitations and memory items to listen to over and over during your drive. You will be ready for the oral by the time you reach SLC!
