To address the new training format ( which I agree is a huge mistake)...
You will go to Indy for 2 weeks of indoc, either in the Wyndham (free breakfast) or the Super 8 (free breakfast, free dinner, free beer on tap). You will then be sent home for 2 weeks of CBT do-it-yourself systems. Good luck. You will then be sent back to Indy for a 5 day systems crash course, followed by 4 sessions of Graphic Flight Simulators (Think of it as a Flight Training Device. Used for procedures, flows, running qrh items, etc). From there you will then go straight to St Louis to get in the sims. It's unclear whether the oral (for those who are coming in with the flight time) will be done, whether it's in Indy or in St Louis.
In STL, my class stayed at the Holiday Inn Earth City but I believe subsequent classes have been at the Holiday Inn Express closer to the airport.
What? They're doing self-study systems? That's insane.
