I can't remember exactly how this is done, but if you trade your vacation to something that will overlap your training they give you the option of going to training or delaying till after your vacation. People did that back when the Saabs retired and got a few months off and paid for.

Depends on several things. First seniority, the higher your seniority the longer the wait because you go last. Second would be fleet. On the 175 it is averaging 4 months with more senior displacements taking nearly 6.

If you have vacation you CAN take it and be delayed, but you also don’t get paid as CA. Don’t know all the details on that, but know several guys that it happened to.
I think the Saab guys got the time off because of the lack of training slots and the plane they were qualified on was already gone. Might happen when they draw down the CRJ but not with anything going on now.

Eh, no. Look at the flow plan. I didn’t see anything more than three months. Qualified upgrades in 175 were taking the longest.

This is correct if you have vacation scheduled within the proposed footprint of the training you have the option to delay training. You must schedule the vacation before the bid closes. So you will have to blindly guess when they will attempt to schedule your training.
Then expect class immediately after vacation. You used to be able to have unlimited vacation conflicts so when the ATR went away some people had vacation spaced out perfectly to have nearly a year off without flying. The company saw this last year and the domicile procedures LOA neutered it
