Not flying because you're waiting on OE is time you're not building for the next job, so if it's a two week difference between STL and Paris, just bite the bullet and come here. Also, it's like $80 something in per diem per day... if you're into the extra money thing.
Sorry to break it to you if that's really the only reason you did Paris, but IOE doesn't go in order of when you finished your LOE. They don't go in any particular order. Roughly just randomly within your class.
