Classes this summer did not have a break in training. The current class had between no break and almost 3 weeks. You find out if the break is available on Day 1, and you bid on it just like you bid on equipment.
There is nothing to stop you from jumpseating or driving home on your breaks between sim phases (usually just a couple days), but that's not what the breaks are designed for and you'd run the risk of falling behind the pace training. You'll only get positive space to a jB city for one of the programmed breaks.
