Having a vehicle down there makes a long course so much more palatable. Just being able to easily get off the island is pretty dang nice. You could always uber, but I bet I spent less in gas getting down/back than just a few uber rides.

I can also envision the issues that may arise from keeping all the FA trainees in the same company property as all of the pilot trainees in some kind of company-sponsored sleep away camp. They did that in my regional days 20+ years ago and....well.....I can envision the problems.
Pilot/FA issues aside, what are you worried about with your "activities being tracked" and being on a badged access location? When I'm in training, I show up, go to the sim, eat, study, sleep, repeat. You running some kind of underground operation that you don't want them knowing about or something?
