Pilot recruiters have a tendency to over promise to get you in the door. I went through training last spring and my observation was that large Orientation classes were broken up into smaller training classes staggered over a longer period of time so that there are no delays between Systems and Sims and they don't have too many people to get through sims at any one time, especially since some people will get an extra sim or two. Usually Orientation was once a month, a new Indoc started every two weeks, and a Systems class started every week. Some people had a five week break somewhere prior to Systems, some even longer when they were retraining E145 pilots on the E175 last summer.

Last year they were starting 26 pilots a week in the sims. All sim training is done in Dallas at 5 different locations. 150 pilots a month is probably possible if they added more instructors and increased the utilization of the contracted sims. Expect 3 days off between sims and IOE.
