They pay hotel rooms for the new hire FAs. Course, they also put two to a room, and they test them every Friday. Need a 90% or better, or you leave that day. They get one free pass on being late to class, late a second time? Pack your bags. They also have a curfew while in training. Stay out late, and you're gone.
I think the pilot new hires get a better deal.
