Your math doesn't add up, you have 120 days from completion of type ride. 25 hours of IOE plus 20 plus 15 = 60 hours. Two months you mentioned October/November = 61. Half the time needed to complete consolidation of knowledge. Sounds like unnecessary emails to crew planning. I sat reserve for 11 months when I got hired. Sick and tired of hearing you newbies complain. Make sure you complain to your captains too they would love to hear how hard you have it. -carry on nothing to see here
