So I wonder if this 50 hours of IOE can be waived for the traditional 25 hrs. I do not want to be sitting with an IOE check airman for 50 hrs, fly 6 day trips and being at the mercy of the training department not knowing when I'll be scheduled to fly next. I'd rather be on reserve where I know when I can be used. If I'm ready by 25 hours then I'm ready, I don't see the use of prolonging it any longer. Plus I'll have less time now to consolidate given that IOE doesn't count towards consolidation.
