Karbon Jacket. Not going to win any fashion contests but the durability of it is really good. I think the Blazer works fine as well.

UFlymike Harmony with the Bose QC20. Great headset. Probably end of summer for TSO but I just keep the Telex in my bag in case anybody gets their panties in a wad. No issues in over a year of heavy use. Headset keeps working even when the battery dies. For me personally the 737 requires an "In Ear" or "Over the Ear" headset. Too much noise for an "On Ear".

Welcome and good luck to all!

At the Marriott, some of those perks are offered to SWA new hires. But if your not a platinum member now, you will be by the time you check out.

Bingo. You might even still get the first year fee waived if you’re still on terminal leave from AD.

I thought you only got credit (points) for incidentals and such? Maybe a day or two depending on how often you get your room cleaned.... am I missing something?

Hmmmm.... tempting. Of course the last thing I need is another credit card. But still, very tempting.

If you stay at the Marriot Suites, be careful what you keep in your mini fridge. They are more beverage coolers than refrigerators. There is BBQ grill to use as well.

How does parking work during training? I live near mdw but probably won’t be based there for a while. Prob cab it instead of leaving my car out

All of my bar meals and bourbons charge to the room.
