Hangar bay is military module. You cannot create a commercial carrier.Your right about the hangar, I completely forgot even though I am designing a carrier right now.
As for the training, Atom is mostly right. Huge ships with lots of hangars are one of the best ways to mass-train fighter crews. Dedicated carriers are fine too, with the slight advantage that you won't have to reassign fighters because they're already where they have to be.
Can it be done with PDCs somehow?A PDC with hangars do work, but they should be for more mid range style fighters (more that 0.1 months) as you don't want ships firing missiles at your planet. But for training purposes no, its better for them to be in ships.
Anything with large enough hangars can work. Commercial ship with an engine and hangars are the cheapest, but the best dedicated carriers are large, cloaked (included thermal reduction in engines), with many hangars, and PD (in form of CIWS or small turrets).Hangar bay is military module.
