I know a lot of guys, myself included, are trying to figure out where to fit guard / reserve initial training into the schedule. Would 3 weeks of mil leave put you in a bad spot if you did it following IOE? At what point do you trigger needing to go back to ATL for more sims?
Thanks.
Figure you'll be done with OE within 3 weeks of finishing sims. That will be a min of 35 hours. You would then need another 65 hours to get consolidated. Can't speak for all fleets, but most things you'll get as a new hire...you shouldnt have a problem blocking that in any given 4 week period (at 5.15 hours a day, you're only talking about 13 days of flying).
So taking 3 weeks mil leave in the 120 days after your checkride shouldn't be a problem at all. But keep track of your hours.
