Folks the way this used to work at UAL. Is that after IOE you were given a line called a consolidation line. This line of flying would ensure that you got your consolidation time all wrapped up before you were released to line on reserve.

But like everything else here since the invasion the new and improved way of doing things might be new but it's definitely not improved. In fact it's retro, it doesn't work as well as it used to and it's just plain old stupid for the most part.
