They'll bust their asses to get you through. If you know the memory packet cold and pay attention in class, you'll make it through no problem.
The sim in Seattle is old but it's an absolute beast and flies
excellent for a sim. If you go to Atlanta for sim (you shouldn't, but weirder things have happened), God help you.
You can walk to the mall, down the street to several restaurants, and over to Walmart for basically anything you need. HQ is directly across the street from hotel. Double occupancy (unless you're lucky and get paired with the other sex for sim). It's one of those long term hotels so you have all the typical apartment-style amenities.
Know the memory packet from end to end and understand there will be changes in class to the procedures. Week one is indoc, easy stuff, just pay attention. Week two is systems. Week three is review and cockpit procedures training. Weekends off.
Get to know your classmates and the FAs who will likely go through with you, and ENJOY your time off, but study study study. It's a thorough program that is well designed to get you through, but it's a lot of PowerPoints and easy to get frustrated staring at those all day.
PM me if you have any questions.
