For most recent classes it’s been about 16 weeks between the first day of indoc and the start of ground school and a 7-8 week delay between sims and flights.
They Skipped a new hire class in August and allegedly December is going to be a smaller class, so it should cut down the delay by 4-6 weeks between indoc and ground school and more SOE Captains should reduce the delays after sims by the end of the year.

That's interesting because the current ground school has the remaining May hires and some June hires in it. This class was finishing up QPT.

He possibly made a request to attend a family event, take a trip etc., that caused them to defer him to a later date, or never sent an initial email to the training department after getting his accounts setup.

These May hires you speak of going through ground school when are they hitting the Sims?

You seem to be taking more of an interest in finding answers than your friend is... No one should care about his career more than him...

Sorry, for clarification... Hired or indoc in April or May? if he was hired and not indoc'ed then, that means he went to indoc possibly in July. Again I would look at where he is on the seniority list since you know his name and then a lot of this will make better sense. PM me and I can help get him into a new hire group that can help him figure it out.

Ok so I just clarified with him. He went to Indoc in June (i think towards the start). Still hasn’t gone back for ground school. Still no word on ground school/systems and certainly no direction on when Sims will be.
The way things are panning out it’s possible he will be with the company for 12 months by the time he gets fully checked to line.
I’m Guessing things should speed up for new hires once the new Sims come online and the bottleneck is cleared
