They've been backed up for IOE. They're trying to get caught up so it may be sooner, but it's been a 4-6 week wait for the 145.

3 years ago I flew around 700 hours, reserve the whole time with a fat reserve list and trying to figure out how not to fly much, but was junior so my best efforts did nothing.

333 hours since IOE start in late August, including one month of reserve in September. That was as of trip sign-in yesterday afternoon. DFW 175 FO.

Does anyone have the training schedule for the first few weeks? What day do you travel home and return from CBTs and are weekends off? I know some dates are different because of holidays.

I'm trying to coordinate some things with my spouse before I start.

Thanks

I have a feeling there was much more to that story than just "bugging them about getting home" Its kind of like Bad-Instructor Stories. You always hear about that A-hole Check Airman that failed someone unnecessarily but you never hear about someone who shows up to a checking event unprepared and with a bad attitude. I have a feeling that if we were all their as First Hand witnesses, we would have gotten a very different experience than the story told by the interviewee.

Being a pilot, mainline or regional involves a great deal of uncertainty and fluxuating schedules. But that is especially true when it comes to a junior regional FO on reserve. Our HR Staff probably saved our Scheduling and CP staff a lot of future problems.

One reason that Delta and United only off preferential interviews is, it provides them to opportunity to weed out the bad seeds. AA does not have that vetting process. Once hired at an AA Wholly Owned Regional, very little can be done to prevent that person from becoming an AA Pilot. When owned by NWA, Compass Airlines interview process was much more involved for that reason, and so should envoy's.

Something to keep in mind for anyone coming to interview and to continue to mind until they get off probation.

Travel to class on Sunday. Indoc Monday through Friday, the weekend off, then your indoc test on Monday. If your training is going ahead, you will start your safety/security training Monday afternoon and finish Wednesday. You will then go home for CBT's.

10 days later you will return to start class again on Monday where you will start systems class for 4 hours a day, and your procedures training for the other 4 hours. You will do this Monday through Friday with the weekend off. The second week will be the same on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday will be spent in the sim going over your procedures. Friday will be your Systems and Procedures Validation (SV/PV). Once you pass, you're on to the sims. That schedule is broken up a bit, but expect it to be two weeks from start to your QLOE event.

Same here. Talked to one of the planners today and she said we will be getting calls for IOE at the end of the week or the beginning of next. That will make it a month for me.

What do you while you wait for the call? At home? Do you still get paid?
