Did you think they just fly it with two captains?

I was on the CRJ for over a year before I got mine. I was awarded a 900 trip for the first time and they displaced my captain and changed it to OOE with a check airman. They seem to like to do it that way sometimes rather than giving it to you up front.

No? When I did my 700 IOE as an FO I was released to the line. A couple weeks later I was flying the 900 with a normal line captain. This was 4 years ago.

I did IOE in the -200, then a day of ground and a day in the sim for 700/900 differences training. Then a 3-day OOE trip in the -700 with a check airman, followed by a local OOE in the -900 with 5 legs, with a check airman.

So they are definitely requiring your first flights in the -900 be with a check airman. However, in order to get those flights, I had to call the training department....

I look at the pairing set to see if there are any trips that I DO NOT want included. if there are SEVERAL trips that show up and are not trips that I want, I double check the pairing properties and line properties I've set.

I don't necessarily get the trips I want, but I did not get any trips that don't meet my preferences. Thats what has worked for me over the past few months. I bid around 50%.
