During initial training, the company will put you up in a hotel, no matter where it is, if they need you to be there before or after any particular trip sequence. Think of it this way: during new hire initial training (which includes IOE), if you are not at your home, they will put you up in a hotel.

Once you finish IOE, and complete your move days, only THEN are you considered to be based at XXX base. Once that happens, you are on your own if not on a trip.

Best of luck to you.

Happened to me way back in late 1991. It took FOREVER to finish training. If I recall correctly, I started October 1st and didn't finish IOE until the end of January.

You get paid while waiting.

I'm going to review board this friday... When do you think I'll hear?

Just tired of waiting, hehe. It'd be nice to finally get that date.

You should hear Friday if your stuff goes. They will call you and then send you more paperwork and schedule your medical. You will have to travel to a hub for the medical.

You get training pay AND 16 hour a day per diem until you complete IOE. Took me just over 5 months from day 1 to completion of IOE. After IOE you are then officially in base. And I thought the 3 move days were paid for a new hire and it's only one paid/two unpaid move days for a base transfer.

Is one allowed to continue work as a CFI during this long wait? I've heard conflicting stories ranging from 'the airline will make you quit working as a CFI once you get the initial job offer' to 'it doesn't matter, you can still CFI on the side' ... So, is there anybody here with the correct, official information on that matter? I would prefer to continue work as a CFI if I will have to wait that long, regardless of the paycheck.

Thanks for the help.

Technically, you cant work as a CFI. Think 30 in 7 issues.

True. But, if you're sitting around the house waiting to start IOE, how would one go over 30 hours in a week? Also, would it matter that the 30 in 7 applies to Part 121 and the CFI-ing is done via other Parts?

I guess what I'm looking for is: does American Eagle ever specifically say "You must now resign from any other flying jobs you have." ...?

Thanks for any clarification.
