Better put, what is considered a "satisfactory" performance during IOE, or can this get pretty subjective?
Absolutely and you'll get it. It just takes a little longer in some cases than others. Most guys are well prepared for it and have a grasp on what's gonna happen. Typically guys do 2 four day trips and are signed off. Pretty straight forward stuff where you just fly together and then he/she signs you off after a line check.
