A few PSA Q's

[FintonMEI]

I've been through 121 training before but never during holidays. Anyone know what they do for Thanksgiving and Christmas in PSA training? Would anyone suggest driving to Dayton? (13 Hr. drive) When do the flight benefits start for your travel companion? Or can you even name a travel companion for that matter? Any info would be great. Thanks in advance.

About PSA, First take all hope you have and place it in a well used potato bag back over it place bricks in the sack then place said sack into the ohio river.

Drive, bring your car. Otherwise you will feel like you are in a half-way-house or worse Jail. Dayton Airport Inn is a crap hole. Granted it is free. After all who would pay to stay in a place like that?
On weekends you will need to get away from the airport. Go downtown, there is a rock climbing place, coffee shops etc...
Study hard each night, you will do fine. Don't overdo it.

If you can drive then do it. Theres zero transportation options from the hotel/airport besides an occasional ride to wally-world by the hotel shuttle. The hotel is decent, you aren't there on vacation but you'll survive, you'll spend most of your time in the training center upstairs anyways and the month goes by very quickly.

And don't waste your time with the assclowns who don't have any real advice and just complain. Obviously no one listens to them at thier own company, why should you.

Definitely drive. Even if you hate long road trips like me, you'll be very glad you did. There's plenty to get into as far as restaurants and there's a great museum at Wright Patterson.

Don't listen to the all of the bs from the miserable types. This certainly isn't going to be the pinnacle of your career (hopefully for you anyway), but it's a decent place to be in the meanwhile and you're going to leave with a logbook full of good experience. The training department is easy to work with if you have a good attitude and the people are all pretty cool here, too. Just don't let people who are all burnt out influence you, they're too busy complaining to remember why they started flying in the first place. Welcome aboard, btw.
