Comfort Suites and Candle Wood aka Scandal Wood aka Candle Hood. Right across the street from Flight Safety. Some classes end up downtown at the Hyatt.

So my understanding is that 30 days before training I would get United flight benefits? Is that correct? Not sure if its a cadet specific thing or not.

If I wanted to fly to a destination in Europe, for example, where United doesn't operate the entirety of the route (but an alliance partner could pick up the last leg), would I just have to ZED? Or are the benefits more restricted at this point?

My understanding was united benefits begin first day of training(hire date). Cadets do get benefits before hire date. Not sure how long before though. ZED fares unlock 6 months after hire date.

I believe cadets get travel benefits after they go through the employment center process. Also, I think the benefits are limited to SkyWest only flights. So that won't help you get very far. You wont have zed access either.

That's what I've seen elsewhere. The page on APC says the following though:

"UAL Flight benefits 30 days prior to ground school date"

But what you said sounds more realistic.

Assuming this bag only fits sideways in a CRJ overhead? My old Costco roller "carry-on" bag is too big, and as a newhire waiting for IOE, I've been wondering which bag I should ask Santa for. Seems that the Costco dimensions are for the internal specs, not the external - so when you actually put clothes in the bag, the dimensions are wrong for the overhead.

Would love to stay with Costco - price, durability and warranty are unmatchable.

Lots of reasons. If you live in a SkyWest base, if youhave talked to friends at all the airlines and there experiences, you want a turkey certificate every year, honesty now that were out of the horrid 90's/early 2000's.. It comes down to were do you want to live/commute too. A extra 20k would not make me commute to JFK from the west coast..
