Default bringing a car

I was wandering what everyone had heard about bringing a car to training. If you have any input I would appreciate it.

Ditto. And make sure you only give a ride to the cute FA's in training that put out...just kidding.

If you live within a long day's drive to Houston I'd take the car. There are only so many food options you can walk to in the area and you'll get sick of them all. You'll also get a few precious extra minutes of sleep every morning since you won't have to rely on the hotel van to get you to class in the morning, and if you have an odd FTD or sim time, you won't waste a bunch of time waiting for transportation there either.

Go ahead and bring your car. You'll have instant friends.

yeah, car is highly recommended. I havn't had one out here and it's been a month but manageing just fine. It would be nice to be less dependant on other people for things like, the bank, walmart, etc. but what can ya do. If you're close enough, bring your own ride, thats my advice...

i drove mine when i was in training and i was glad that I did. Good Eats is not really all that good. Oh yeah, and you'll enjoy all the instant friend you get like someone else mentioned earlier. Haha. Good luck.

Bring the car. There are stores, a mall, and tons of restaurants just the other side of the airport.
