Yes they provide hotels for you during training. After your week of indoc, you're going home for probably a month (with pay) before you come back and start the process of the 175 type rating. 3 days of emergency procedures training, then home again for ~10 days for CBTs, then back to DFW for ground school, then up to STL for Level D sims. In case you were wondering, the sims are the big chokepoint in the training pipeline. They only have the space available for 6 new-hires every two weeks. You'll be paired with a CA who's getting their 175 type as your sim partner. I'm in the 4/25 class and I've got a total of 6 weeks off with pay before I come back and resume training. There's another group that's two weeks behind mine, then the first group of your class should be next up. Don't expect to see a sim before July.
