Good luckalright our class passed the basics end-of-course test today and now we move on to the real training starting tomorrow. I've been seeing a lot of new students and classes in the building lately.

Is there anything I should know or bring (that you didn't get think of) for my class starting in almost 2 weeks? How many are in your class? Appreciate your updates. Keep them coming.
Is it too early to start looking for housing for my class that starts July 31st? I dont want to get behind the curve.
No, it’s not too early. You definitely don’t want to wait to the last minuteIs it too early to start looking for housing for my class that starts July 31st? I dont want to get behind the curve.
I've already contacted housing providers and my date is later than yours. Mind you, there seems to be some changes coming for per-diem with regards to the housing portion. Maybe whoever you contact can fill you in.
What's the potential change with the per diem?
FAA getting rid of self-pay option starting 6/1. Basically becomes use it or lose it. Gone are the days of pocketing extra per-diem, or so I've been told. Ask your housing provider if they've heard the same.
It's coming from providers and friends I have at the Academy currently. Anyone starting after 6/1 will not have a self-pay option.
CorrectFor the housing part, right? Food will still be automatically reimbursed correct?
Theoretically, yes. But why would they? Sure it can be incentive, but that only works if others aren't full. There are occasionally vacancy issues where you don't quite have every option available.Theoretically housing providers could just collect the full amount from the FAA and run a deal where they pay you something like $15 a day cash to stay there.
