I remember AE had a 30 hour max for IOE. If you weren't cutting it by then you were out. Now some regionals are allowing people to fly 80 hours on IOE...
really?
3 jets in already, IOE has never been that big of a deal. day 1 is a $h!t show then by day 4 or 5 you pretty much have assimilated in the collective suck. I've always thought the checkride was far more stressful than IOE ever has been, at least as an FO.
