No, most newhires go to ACY for a month before being able to bid out

Unless you live in ACY, that place is a dump.

Did my first overnight in ACY a couple days ago and realized on the way to the airport that we passed another airport (closed now) which became famous for a certain floating citation.

Because it's a real pain in the arse to get to ACY unless you live within an acceptable driving radius or in one of the cities directly served out of ACY.

Good times.

Anyways, as dumps go, ACY isn't all that bad. Avoid Tun Tavern like the plague. That place sucks. This is coming from a former Marine. The White House is mostly "meh". Pho Sydney is great for first year FO's (cheap and plentiful!) and when you get on second year pay Wingcraft across the street from the hotel is pretty much the only place worth going to (unless you like chitty greasy crappy New Yawk style pizza, then you'll have no end in sight as to your options...) but be prepared to drop at least $50 for your visit... But it's a Grant well spent!
