Whenever you expand your operations (adding aircraft, adding aircraft families to your fleet, adding new routes, etc), or when employees leave the company due to normal attrition, your airline must hire more employees. This is done automatically by the game at the end of each day. Each new hire incurs a one-time training cost, which varies depending on the type of employee.

Below is a list of training cost for each employee in a standard game world (special worlds may have modified values):
