Most guys transitioning from other fleets have spent some time parked waiting for OE. It has ranged from a week to many months depending on where they fell in the cycle. I think they are finally getting caught up with transitioning pilots and we will see more new hires getting the 717 now that the backlog is clearing.

Guys that finished the sim in late JAN/early FEB are just now going to OE. I think some of the furlough recalls and new hires have gone through a little faster as they benefit from the quicker consolidation of knowledge - not that everyone's proficiency doesn't suffer after a few months on the bench.
