I did it.
Pros:
-$83 a day in food reimbursement for new hires, or per diem plus $30 something for upgrades. Food is delicious at the hotel restaurant.
-flights to and from Paris are paid over the training guarantee
-Paid trip to see Paris
-Some good schedules available
Cons:
-Time zone change can be a pain. Recommend staying on/close to DEN time for sleeping
-ERJ sim there is a little older but worked fine.
-lots of extra things you have to do like COVID testing, flying back and forth, etc.
-If an instructor gets COVID then there is less ability to flex your schedule and stay on timeline.
-they booked us regular economy tickets each way, so there was no opportunity for an upgrade.
