indoc is a week.
systems in 3 weeks.
sims is 2 to 2 1/2 weeks.
IOE is 2 weeks.
new hires get 64 hours a month gurantee and 16 hr/day per diem.
training sucks. there's no sugar coating it. you'll be bright eye'd and bushy tail for about 3 days then the reality will set in.
once your spirit is broken things get easier.

IOE is longer than just two weeks. It's when ever your instructor says your competent enough to fly the airplane. The biggest challange, putting it on the ground (unless you've flown something larger than a King Air).
Take as much time that is allowed to complete IOE. No need to rush.

Thanks for all the info, guys! My current a/c is 29,000lbs and has systems which seemed to be more intricate than the think tank at MI5 so hopefully that will help with the upcoming training. :-)
I'm really happy to be joining Eagle

To some extent. I rather finish IOE pretty quick while everything is fresh on my mind,than to sit waiting to get done. They checkairman wont sign off till HE feels you are ready. Just ask the 300hr wonders AE hired few years ago. Some of them did close to 100hrs of IOE.
a few got sent back to fly with the IOE captain's a few months later because they were still doing so bad and scaring folks...

I don't think anyone is *blaming* IOE instructors. I think it's better to put safety before feelings. I started flying a turbine plane at 230 hrs but it was cargo. I sure wouldn't be offended if an IOE instructor told me to take 200 more hours before flying real passengers without aid.

When I was at Eagle. I had 2 2/3 day trips then the captain said he had to sign me off. I told him I wasn't ready but he said that he needed to sign me off because there was a waiting list for IOE. It was 25 hrs of IOE but that was the Saab days.
