Hopefully they don't get longer; it didn't seem like they did from the first August class that was announced as a delay through the 9/18 class.
If the bottleneck is full motion sim availability, I think the problem will persist or worsen as all of the E170 operators are trying to get more pilots through training. Pilots already flying the line also need to come in every year for recurrent.
Last time I was in HQ, there were talks of a new training center, with our own simulator bays.
