Can anyone who has been through 175 training here give a run down on the time frame of ground/sim/ioe school?

Not sure on the ERJ but I've heard rumor the wait for CRJ sims is 1-2 months. Anyone know if this rumor is true or not?

But I'd still take the CRJ if I was applying now. The majority of Bro pilots appear to be bidding the 175, meaning that very few new hires are getting the 175. And those that do get West Coast 175 bases may well get displaced by the transitioning Bro guys. I'm still concerned about that possibility for myself (just got awarded SFO on the RJ) but the likelihood of displacement on the 175 is bigger. I think.

As others have said, yes, new hires on both airframes are experiencing noticeable delays. I started indoc on Sept 22, finished ground school Oct 17, and then waited till December 2 to start sims. Did my LOE on Dec 20 and my first day of IOE on Dec. 29. So that gives you an idea. I've heard the delays are longer now.

For those without ATP written, SkyWest Web states,
"Means of of obtaining CTP course..."
How are they doing this now? or are the new hires without the written get put in pool?
Thanks
