I was told the Hampton Inn Portsmouth is used for training. Its about 2 miles from the airport. Supposedly there is a shuttle that will take trainees to/from class and around town as needed. I also understand they have a free hot breakfast, but that is not confirmed.

I originally applied in June and didnt interview until Oct. I will begin training in Feb. The people I have talked to that work there seem to be pretty happy. The contacts I have made that currently work there dont seem to frequent these forums. Upgrades based on company need/employee capability. Some have upgraded in 3 months, others a couple of years. Previous experince and total time when hired will come into play as to when you will be eligible to upgrade. Seems like a good place. I hope I am not wrong.

Overtime: You can volunteer or get called out of the blue on any of your 6 days off.
Upgrades: Are happening, I wouldn't say its a lot right now just due to all the new hire classes coming through. Historically, time to upgrade has been low. As long as you meet the flight time requirements, most people were upgrading within a year. We are hiring a lot of people next year, so it might get a little more competitive, who knows.
Morale: I would give it about an A-. Still have some small things that I think the company can improve on but overall most people are fairly happy here.
