Dobbs,
That's very helpful. Hoping to get the call at some point, but in the meantime trying to get prepared for the first year pay hit.

On the 7ER, conversion occurs after your sign-off for domestic IOE (35 hrs). After IOE, you complete TOE (Trans-Oceanic Experience)(now on flight pay, but not released to the line) which usually includes 2 rotations (trips) with North Atlantic Track routing. I don't know if TOE is always 2 rotations, or if they are always NAT rotations. I just know it's what I did. Once you complete TOE, you get the "OK" from training placed on your schedule and are released to the line.
Hope this helps your financial planning.
