Indoc, 5 days in Charlotte
12 days Home study: Computer based training on systems; memorize limitations, QRH items, initial “scans” (setup items), flows, and a few other items that set up success when procedures training starts.
2 weeks in Charlotte (weekends off), non-aircraft specific items; systems details, intro to the FMS
Procedures and sims scheduled as they figure out where and when availability happens. Roughly 5 days of each with weekends off. We were advised a brake before each is possible, but efforts are done to keep the off time short.
Sim locations are CLT, ATL, DFW, PHX. You are permitted to ask for a preferred location.

Have no clue what times are going to be with class sizes being much larger.

I had read about their schedules being inefficient, 11-12 days off for eternity, for the most part. Do the schedules normally include lots of sitting around at the airport for hours at a time between flights, or long overnights?
Whenever I’ve viewed Piedmont flights on flightaware there is very little activity at any given time.
