Default IOE minimum hours?

I’m about to complete my third IOE trip which was a three day trip. Is there a minimum number or trips or hours I fly before completing IOE? One of my original three trips were cancelled, this third one was scheduled after the fact. Should I expect another trip? Or I am ready for reserve?

There are certain things you have to demonstrate/discuss on IOE. When they are completed and satisfactory the box will be checked.
Your checkairman will do your line check and sign you off when you are done.
You should ask your checkairman how you are doing and what you need to complete yet.

Three trips is pretty common. Depends on how many days, how many legs, and how you're doing.

Your CKA would have told you if you were into remedial IOE, or lagging significantly.

Can't answer your question, but under the current policy, I'd be very wary of working at SkyWest as a rotorhead since they require 2,500 fixed-wing hours to upgrade (not 2,500 hours total time that every other regional outfit adheres to). Unless you plan on making a career at SkyWest, I'd stay away. TSA is out of DEN as well...
