Thank you, Master. I have trained hard in the art of reading. I do not disappoint.

On that subject, could someone be so kind to give/make a table that shows how long it'd take (from DOH) to hold SCR/LCR or line at each of the individual bases? That would be greatly appreciated and extremely helpful to a prospective hire deciding between companies.

Wait time from sims to start of oe

Does anyone know the approximate time from finishing sims to oe start? I know we get 5 days off in between but I’ve heard people are waiting 10 days and up to a month. Also about how many weeks does it typically take to complete?

It's taking more than twice that long at some other regionals now.

My OE was about 30 hours, flying with 3 check airmen, and spanned 9 days with 3 days off in between.

Good trips, 16-17 days off, no reserve. Early starts/late finishes = Bad for commuting.

Word on the street is only IND, CMH, and PIT offered to the current class. Very heavy on IND and CMH. No LGA at all.

You are correct.

New Hire to PIT

It appears new hires are now getting PIT out of training. Also appears to not have always been the case. What is the real trend? PIT for new hires, or not?

Any base except MIA by the time you are off IOE or soon after, reserve times are minimal no matter where you go. Bases assigned in class are not a good indicator as they are always going to stock the out-bases first. By the time the class hits the line, half of them will be scattered to other bases.
