The training department has had a lot of changes in the past years but currently is managed by a good group of people. It's low stress and they will get you extra training if you need it as long as you show effort and progress. All ground school starts with computer based CBT but it hasn't been approved for home use, so you still need to goto Vegas to do it. Hotels are good/great, free, single occupancy, and you get a rental car when sims start.
