I started in Dec and had a couple of weeks off between indoc and sims. For the 7ER it is a month of training in ATL with a type rating checkride at the end, 40 hours of domestic OE, back to ATL for a couple of days of long range navigation training and then transoceanic OE to complete the training.

I heard a rumor that the TOE is getting backed up because so many new guys are going to the 7ER and there aren't enough line check airman available to do the TOE. I talked to the OE planner yesterday and he really has his hands full trying to get all of this scheduled. I hear 7ER guys will fly domestic (on training pay) until our TOE is complete.
