I started transition april 4th. it was late june when i wrapped up IOE. the FSI in STL was pretty swamped with multiple companies using them now.

it should only take 8-9 weeks, but i would bet it takes longer.

Indoc was 9 classroom days, then one additional day in there will be CRM type learning only taught by pilots. (Thursday-Sat, off sunday, Mon-Fri, Off Sat Sunday, Monday-Tuesday)

Systems was Thurs-Fri (Off Sat Sunday), then 2 weeks of mon-fri, weekends off, followed by mon-wed
SIT/CPT was three days. Some got it right away, some didn't. But your oral will be after that.

Originally I was supposed to have SIM the day after the oral but we ended up getting a 3 week break. (the other two planes I have done here it's been no more than a couple of days wait)

One of the worst things about this place is how long they can keep pilots away from their families during training.
