Ok. There has been like 2 new hires on the 175 who has passed IOE at 25 hours in the past 8 months, and that has been because of cancellations. It's been 2 4-day trips with the line check at the end. I did mine at 29 hours, simply because that was the last leg of a 3-day (I did a 4 day and a 3 day trip for IOE). Check airmen don't want to do the line check mid-trip, because they lose the IOE override pay for the rest of the trip otherwise.
