No, the simulator schedules and IOE schedules vary greatly. I started class on the 25th of July. Finishing sims at the end of Septemeber. Have been told many different theories on IOE wait time. So it could possibly be 4 months from fist day of class to IOE line check.

CRJ classes start on Mondays and end 3 and half weeks later on a Thursday. So the October 3rd class will finish on October 27th. You will bid for sim schedules based on seniority. Out of the 17 sim lines in our class. 15 of them were in SLC and started within a week or so. 2 lines in CVG had 12 days off.

Wow quick paint jobs. 6 of those 700s will be flying next month in Ord in AA paint as UAX 700 continue to come off line. No 200 flying changes yet.

We have a boatload of -200s in SFO. The Scooter isn't going away anytime soon.

Thanks for that. Basically I am trying to see if there is any way to fit in 4/5 days off to go to my brother's wedding in Australia on 10/29.

If I did CTP 9/11-17, I could then do Ground School from 10/3-10/27 and hopefully fly out that afternoon (10/27) and make it in time, coming straight back on 10/30.

What are my chances of having 4 days off straight after ground school before starting sim?

Thank you again!

Depends totally on your seniority within your class. High seniority and you have a good chance of getting a break.

Totally depends on:

1) In-class seniority (determined by your SSN#)
2) Whether the sims are full or not

Some guys in my class had to start sims the day after ground ended. I got 7 weeks off. It's utterly impossible to predict.

Ok, I don't have a SSN yet so can't tell if it's high or low. Thanks everyone, hopefully I can sort it out and start asap, really looking forward to this new chapter
