If you’re an Amazon Prime member download the Prime Now app. There’s a warehouse by DAL and they will deliver groceries right to your hotel.
The laundry room has a microwave and toaster oven as well as plates and napkins. The machines take credit cards, $2 a cycle. There’s also a bunch of paper trainers to practice flows and callouts. Fridge in your room will hold a decent amount of food/beer.
Discount on food and domestic beers at the hotel. FedEx ship on site, really nice gym with a basketball court and indoor track. Like everyone else said, it’s a great company, get to know your classmates and have some fun.

Plenty of SWA pilots instruct in their off time. It’s more of a hobby than a money making scheme since you can make way more by picking up open time. You don’t need anyone’s permission to do part time CFI type stuff. Other than that or maybe something like ferrying planes when you are available, I wouldn’t get too hard and heavy into a side gig. Any part 121 or 135 is verboten since it impinges on your legality.

No, there was no charge to park at the Anatole; it's part of the resort package that's included in our rate. Just have to get your room key activated for it, and it'll let you in and out of the gate. If I didn't live on the west coast, I'd have brought a car; it would have made life much easier! It's doable without it using an occasional Uber, but your own car is always nice to have.
One heads up I didn't realize: Any packages sent to the hotel go to that Fedex Office, and they charge a "package receiving fee." I ended up having to pay $15 to pick up an Amazon delivery! I was not amused. To avoid repeating my mistake, there's a 7-11 with an Amazon locker down the street.
