More like 7-8 weeks. I know of a guy from the 1 Oct class who just started IOE - I think one of the last guys in his class to start IOE.

My class, 15 Oct, starts IOE trips on 24 Jan - which is about 8 weeks since that guy's (the first in our class) checkride. My bestie's checkride was 30 Nov, his first trip departs 26 Jan (IOE out of PDX.) Other people who checked on 30 Nov have yet to be scheduled for their first trip.
