3 days of FMS class, 3 weeks of systems, nearly 2 weeks of sim, and at least 2 trips of IOE with a Fed ride. Without any breaks it is 2 months. With a couple of breaks in there it could easily reach 2 1/2 to 3 months. Upgrades from the CRJ in my class started middle of August and were hitting the line middle of October for the senior guys and they had NO breaks at all. The junior guys had a couple of short breaks in there and they were hitting the line at the end of October.
