After sims you have to do 4 flights in the jumpseat and a walkaround. This can take a couple days to schedule, expecially the walkaround. They basically pair you up with a MEM captain and you meet him at the airport early one morning. He shows you how to check in and such, then you guys head out to the airplane for a through preflight. The logic behind this is that OE flights were getting delayed on the first day due to the OE captain taking extra time to walkaround with the newhire. You may have some time off, you may not. Just depends on when you go through. I took my checkride at the end of July and started OE around mid-august. So with the FAM rides and walkaround I never had a significant break in time. but as I said, it all depends on when you finish training and such. Hope this helps
