It all depends on the schedule and if you can keep the same check airman or not. Mine was done over the course of 3 weeks and 3 different trips and 3 different check airmen. They had to pull my second check airman mid trip on week 2 to do something else that took priority. Otherwise, I would have been done on that trip.

They are trying to get everyone thru as fast as they can. I don't see anyone taking longer than that. Once your check ride and LOFT is done in the sim, they are pushing you right into IOE.

No DaysOff protection. Your schedule doesn't mean anything. They will JA you. Stay away if you have family.

It's not that bad. I've had plenty off since IOE.

Can you tell me what the schedule was like during sims? I've heard that there is typically a few days off between sim sessions; was that your experience?

Per the contract, you will not have more than 3 consecutive sim sessions without a day off. One of the reasons why training takes some time here. My sim schedule went something like this. 2 on 1 off 3 on 2 off 2 on 1 off and I had 2 blocks of 4 off mixed in there as well. It all varies depending on sim availability, but you do get plenty of time off during sims and I made it home a good amount during training.

Then stop answering your phone when scheduling calls.

Default Re-apply??

Is there any sense in re-applying once the window opens back up if you weren't hired the first time around? I interviewed back in April and was pretty sure that I would get a offer, but I received the TBNT letter a month later. I barely had over 500 turbine at the time. The interview went really well and as a result I was given a urine screen. So, with all this being said, if I re-apply will ABX bother bringing me back through? Or should I get ABX out of my head for good?
