Training Delay Question
I'm planning to interview with Horizon soon and was wondering how fast the training footprint has been recently. Have there been any significant gaps between indoc, systems, and simulator training? I have a few friends at other airlines that have waited months for sim slots.

I’m with the first class in the new training footprint. Extra ground school and one extra sim session at the start which I did today and was glad they added it. Gave us more time to hand fly and get familiar with the plane. No training delays. Had a few days off between each major training session (ground school, VPT, simulator.) no more than 4 days. My first IOE trip is scheduled two days after the checkride at the end of this month.

To the OP, the 175 has been relatively quick. From day one of groundschool to the final sim check (LOE), is around 5 to 7 weeks total. (Add 1 week to the beginning if you are doing the ATP-CTP course.) Pretty quick compared to most. IOE within a week of your LOE.

No delays, everything went well. My IOE has a few larger gaps. My first few trips were a three and four day separated by like 6 days off. Then I had another trip followed by two days off, two days IOE reserve and then two more days off. Never flew on IOE reserve. Some of my classmates had a tighter IOE schedule and they’re starting to pass their line checks now. Mine is scheduled for October 12. Which I’m fine with because I needed one more month of IOE status to maintain my PDX base and avoid Medford. I was awarded PDX for November. I was glad to have those days off in IOE.
