GOS is General Operational Subjects, and is a lot of the same stuff, just in more detail. You'll cover Emergencies (get to play with the doors and the slide), CFIT/ALAR, Security, Weather and Atmosphere, Hazmat, Maintenance, Flight Ops, Phase of Flight, CRM/TEM, Communication and Navigation, ETHOS, Performance, and Operational Control. A GOS test at the end of the second week is also open-book, open-note.
It's death by PowerPoint, even for the most enthusiastic.
After that, we're home for two weeks for systems study on ETHOS, followed by a week in class and the Systems Validation (which is now taken on ETHOS).
The schedule after that depends on the luck of the draw. I got (lucky/unlucky, depending on your point of view) and have another 3-week break after the week back in Indy before returning for EFPTs. Some in my class have no break at all and are going straight through. Expect roughly a month of bouncing back and forth between Indy and your sim site before finishing up.
And just in case it wasn't 100% certain, all initial training is now being conducted under AQP, beginning with the 10/15 class.

Just wrapped up Indoc last week. 10 days (weekend off) for Indoc. You'll take an Indoc test after the first 3 days, open-book, open-note. Topics covered are Manuals Overview, Crew Qualifications, Human Factors, General Policies, Crew Policies, Weather, F/O Awareness, Safety, Codeshare Differences, International Ops, Passengers and Cargo, Crew Scheduling, and Airports and Areas of Operation.
