Default xjet new hires

Can anyone tell me the details about the training conditions for xjet new hires?

What hotel do they put the trainies at?
Does it have a gym?
Is there a fridge in the room?
Internet?
Grocery store near by?

Any details would be much appreciated

Also, I am thinking about driving. Just don't know if my car will make it though. Plus 18 hrs with no air conditioning is painfull.

Change that to "yes" to make it correct.

Or, just take one out of the hallway when you see it. In the meantime get your name on the fridge request list.

Let me just say I'm very glad I'm not in that Hotel anymore. The worst things about it: 1.) The internet is so slow that its essentially useless. 2.) The hotel restaurant ("Bad Eats") sucks, and there is precious little to choose from within walking distance (however the mediterranean place by subway is decent). 3.) The staff is not particularly ah... diligent. 4.) having a roomate sucks. Other than that its not that bad. The good news: They positive space you home every weekend. Take advantage and go home to maintain your sanity.
