2 weeks of indoc, 2 weeks of systems, then systems test. Then depending on ftd/sim schedule, you may get a few days off here. Then 1 week of FTDs followed by oral, then about 1.5 weeks of sims, then checkride, then LOFT. 7ish weeks total.

3.5 weeks of indoc with weekends off
1-2 weeks off
3.5 weeks of FTD/sim/check ride/LOFT with some days off
1-2 weeks off
3-4 weeks IOE trips with some days off between trips
No real “break” but plenty of days off you can work out a move. Just might not know the exact dates it will work until it’s short notice.

If you are older in your class, sure. If you are younger expect only short time periods off between Ground/FTD/Sim. I only had two days off between ground and FTD to learn my flows followed by the oral the day after 5 straight FTD's. Talk about cramming! Ugh. Then 3 days off before the Sim. IOE started 5 days after Loft. So I felt stressed until I finished the sim. Several others in my class felt exhausted/stressed as well. Did good though. Meanwhile others in my class had a week or two off between these and thought life was golden and training was easy. lol They tell you what you need to know so don't worry about that. Just bring your A game.
You make valid points, also depends on how busy the training dept is with upgrades.
True, I’ve seen this done too but I think the smart move is to ask for another trip. Might as well make it take as long as possible to delay the inevitable reserve.
