I am curious about there being any way to know ahead of time if an IOE is being planned or scheduled? I think I will get a call the night before the trip if I get bumped, but are there perhaps any telltale notes on the rotation that might be revealing?

Thanks Scoop
Also, sometimes 3 or 4 days out IcrewMax (on your smart phone) will show several pilots instead of just you and him. On my last checkride, I saw a 3rd dude listed that I looked up and saw was a LCA. Called the Capt and gave him a head's up 3 days prior, sure enough dude showed up at gate and gave a checkride.
