I talked with a LCA 1.5 weeks ago, he said the wait was about 2 weeks for FO and 3 to 4 weeks for CA.

I called up monday morning and said I never got the call which I don't think they believed untill they checked the call logs and saw that I was right. They ended up positive spacing me out there to sit reserve in a hottub in minne for 5 days.
This works when you're on reserve as well. I check crewweb every hour or so and most of the time will find out about a morning assignment at least by midnight the night before. That way when they call at 5am you can just say "still on for the toledo turn...k thanks"

Figure a little over a week... Remember, the more time you have off before IOE, the less time on reserve for the rest of the month!

Know the AIM, know Jepp plates, have good answers to the HR questions (tell me about a time when you disagreed with your boss and how you hadled it . . . .). Be yourself, relax and be interested with a good attitude without trying too hard. It is a great group of people who want you aboard, no one is out to trip you up. I don't know about the sim anymore, when I interviewed it was very simple but I heard they have upgraded it but that is completely unsubstantiated. Good luck.

Well, I know that the SAAB is MUCH faster than the Seminole which is the fastest thing i've flown.......(sad but true) But, I think that I'll be able transition well onto it from from talking with current pilots. Plus...I want to fly a TP before I get into a jet anyway.......
