Longer-set-of-questions-short: What's the best way to start off IOE on the right foot, and what's the best resource to figure out seemingly simple things like...
1. Where do you go? (I imagine myself like a crying toddler in the airport, the gate agents calling my Captain on the PA system, announcing a lost, scared FO)
2. Where to park and how do you get parking taken care of?
3. How does the call-in system work for IOE? (Call Tuesday, ready to fly Wednesday?)
4. Many others
PM's welcome, but I also know there are others out there with similar questions.
Unless your LCA calls you ahead of time meet him at the gate.
Download the app FC view its is great way to have your schedule on your phone.
If you are CLT based you can email the CLT base coordinator. Contact info is in your EFB Mobil 365 front page under Resources as Contacts. That page also has your passcodes and locations for crewrooms.
What to study? Well stay sharp on limitations, profiles, and immediate action items. Also in mobile 365 go to My Publications, Training department, IOE folder. Everything in there is excellent information to know what to expect. Including screen shot of how to work ACARS, and fuel planning.
After you finish sims they require you to call IOE scheduling. The details for that is found in mobile 365, my publications, ALPA, LOA 6 (OE/IOE scheduling). Hope that helps!
