Initials SUCK.

Most seem to be 10-12 day courses crammed into 17-21 days, causing excessive time away from home while working toward Marriott Platinum status.

Don't get me wrong, 12 hour days aren't my idea of a good time...but I'm a "get er done" type when it comes to training. Cut out the three hours of war stories every day during ground school and that'd save a LOT of wasted time.
