You'll be able to hold a blank or hard line in every base except ATL or MCO. Very few crash pads in the western bases and people walk to their crash pads in MDW. With the ability to give away/split trips up and pick up out of ATL from other pilots/open time you may not really need a crash pad.

I have heard it is 25 hours. Do you fly it out of DAL or out of your new domicile?

Thanks

You can request your IOE be flown out of your domicile of choice and you will fly the rest of the month there with open time trips that scheduling will add to your board before you finish training. (Helps spread the IOE around the bases/check airman). The next month will be flown out of your awarded domicile.

There isn't squat in open time in ATL.

Yea, I've got some feedback -

Companion

Apps

Backfire.


I wouldn't wizz on one - even if it were on fire.

But that's just me.

Boogie Nights and anyone else transitioning over. It is a self taught course when I came over in Oct. We had 3 737 guys(my self included) who had study groups most nights. I wrote a paper on each of the aircraft panels and displays for the oral. I wrote up all the switches, lights and buttons. PM me with your email address and I will send them to whoever wants them.

Default Parking at the Sheraton

Does SWA cover parking at the Dallas Sheraton or do you park at the airport?

Thanks again

SWA doesn't even cover out employee parking. That comes out of our pocket via payroll deduct.

There is no charge for parking at the sheraton. They give you a special room key for the parking lot.
