There haven't been any new hires for a while but I think you get a company paid hotel during indoc which will be about 2 weeks and then you are on your own during simulators which will be about 6 weeks.
There are numerous pilot friendly hotels and crash pads around the school house on Virginia Ave. The hotels run roughly $60 per night I think.
The crash pads are cheaper and I'm sure the situation will spool up to accommodate new hires as the through-put accelerates.
The gouge will be there during indoc.

We used to have the RoachCrest Apartments in Riverdale for many years, but that's long gone.
It wouldn't surprise me to see some other apartment complex set itself up as "new hire central". Specializing in 8 week leases, everything furnished and complete with van service and a breakfast room.
