A big part of the problem is there are so few EJET Sims in North America. There's one in DFW and about half a dozen in STL. We used to use a 190 sim in Toronto, but the FAA in their infinite wisdom decided it was too different from a 175 so we can't use that one anymore.
I had large gaps in my training, too but they did pay me.

Everyone I know got paid for their gaps too.

Something is not right about your story because every single pilot I know got paid during breaks in training. One guy had trouble with cockpit access and they paid him the 6 weeks while the FAA sorted it out. It could also be as simple as an HR screw up.

After the CAE sim is up and running in PHX, I expect that backlog to go down.

I assume you are a pilot with Mesa, calm winds?
