The discussion a couple days ago about the length of IOE is troubling. Can anyone elaborate as to the reasons, and more specifically, if you are not IOE complete, what are you doing? Do you sit reserve in base waiting for an IOE opportunity since you can't fly normal lines? Do you sit home until something opens up resulting in 3-4 months of long call-like status? What is the real reason for the long IOE times (training dept, LCA shortages, hew hire deficiencies)? Thanks.
