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.
That is a great deal all the way around. I would have loved to have had another handful of domestic trips prior to launching into TOE's. Plus, you are off training pay.
