One of my friends had this happen last month, SS is trying to say the training is complete at the end of your 200 IOE (the line check) since the 700/900 stuff is "just" SLF. If you had three days off after your 200 line check, they will try and schedule 2/3'rds of the remaining month. Since this month is over you're kind of screwed, they'll just make up policy.

They're paying people double time right now, not that it's right but I would fully expect to be scheduled ASAP. They're going to push it.

I would also caution newhires that think the NJM on your schedule means you have that time off. I have two different friends who took off to Sydney after the 200 IOE, only to get scheduled for the differences or a reserve day (they will use you 200 only). Ended up missing the assignment. I'm all for getting as much time as possible off but the conversation with their chief was rather uncomfortable. I'm assuming this was amplified by the fact that they just had 6+ weeks off between systems and FTD.
