Yep.
I don't see why people are making a big deal out of it. It takes about 8 weeks to finish initial training. 2 of those weeks your hotel is provided. So that's about 6 weeks out of a 30ish year career. Talk about not seeing the forest because of the trees.
A high school friend offered for me to crash at his place for the rest of the time. Didn't cost me a dime. I extended the same offer to friends that got hired once I moved to ATL and will continue to do so.
