Timeline from interview to indoc vary. I was hired around the holidays, so for me it was 2 months. When hiring slowed down last summer it was up to 4 mos for some. We’re so short right now, that I doubt it’ll take that long. Seems like the average right now is 4-6 weeks. Indoc is 2 weeks, then home for 1-2 weeks for CBTs, then you come back for procedure trainings and sims. All said and done, from receiving the job offer and finishing IOE, it was just under 4 mos. for me.
For training, some stayed at hotels and others at crashpads. You’ll see ads all over the TC for crashpads and for the most part they’re decent. I had a bunk at a crashpad and it worked out fine for me. The red lion gives you a decent rate for training, but it still adds up.
Good luck!
