Good advice. Usually they stay about 2 weeks ahead on IOE trips, but last minute simulator problems, pilot troubles in simulator, or original LCA calls in sick are all reasons IOE shows up on your trip at the last minute. I have swapped out of a trips because no IOE was on it, and then the day prior when I rechecked it they had put training in it
...On the flip side, I have kept trips with no IOE on it, and when I signed in they had put training on the trip. Good luck.
