It depends. I was on the short end, STS. 10 days of indoc, 7 days "home" studying (which I spent the 2 weekend days resting, 4 studying a solid 8-10hrs/day at a coffee shop, and 1 commuting and studying), four 5-day training stretches with 2 days break between them. Sim check on day 44. One day off before a 3-day observation trip. Two days off before my first IOE trip. Line check on day 60. Short call and first trip started day 61. 100hr consolidation complete on day 94.
I think Tail-end Charlie in my class was about 3-4 weeks behind me.
