Good luck on the interview, study the the packet and gouge that HR sends you. AviationInterviews.com is also a good source for study material, but be cautious on some of the answers, double check with references. Know what ACMI, TEM and CRM mean.
I am in the 767 pipeline now. We are on a 3 1/2 week break. Cut loose after systems, then back for a review week and the Oral. About 7 weeks for the sims is what my schedule shows. Looking at 4 months for initial training. But as was stated, we get min guarantee each month plus per diem while in MIami. Ticket home and back is also covered under the gateway program.

When we checked out in May for 3 weeks, yes, our reservations were closed out. We were rebooked a few days before our return. Shorter breaks, like 5-10 days between fixed base and full flight sims, folks are keeping their rooms. Perhaps the classes after me were handled differently. Best to ask your HR point of contact directly and request to keep your room.

I believe in such a case you would be allowed to remain in Miami, as mentioned contact your HR rep with this question.

I know one of the folks in my class who was on the bid has his days jam packed. He wound up with a little over two weeks off.

Hi All! All the good info on here is really helpful, so thank you to everyone who participates in the information flow. I've gathered 747 training has been fairly backed up in the last couple of months. What is the status of this for the latest classes? Getting better / worse? How long after starting class are people being sent home and how long before they are back in MIA to finish up? Thank you!
