I live in the Atlanta area. Since I probably wouldn't get Atlanta out of training, I'd like to choose a location that is the easiest to commute to.

I'm based in LGA and a lot of my ATL friends are currently there.

They enjoy it. Is it easy to find a place to live or stay while on reserve.

Plenty of crashpads around. Hotels in NYC are steep, I've heard of good success using Airbnb.

Sounds like a plan that can work easy. Not the best but ideal for an easy 2 hour flight to start a trip. What's the going monthly rate for a crash pad?

Yeah, but every time I've seen it used, or had to use it, I have opened the book to make sure it was done right, no way would I go just off memory to verify that.

I agree that we spend way too much time on unnecessary stuff in training, but that's the FAA for ya.
