Yeah, I did. My PC was on 12/22 and I didn't get the IOE call until the last week of February. Then I had like 9 days off in between nearly all of my following 2-day sessions. I went out on 4 trips (10 days, roughly 30 flights) total to complete IOE.
The roughest part about IOE is that it came just over 2 months after my PC, but that's nothing compared to some of the earlier gals/fellas had to deal with. It was quite the uphill battle to turn my "very weak" this and "very weak" that into something good enough for line ops. And then scheduling didn't do me any favors by giving me like 9 days off in between each trip.
Sure...I enjoyed the time off.....yadda yadda yadda....it would've been better to knock it all out in 2 weeks, but I realize that might not always be possible. I got through it fine, but that's not to say there couldn't be improvements and I know the training department is aware of the challenges and things are likely to improve. As long as you go into it knowing what's coming....it's easier to deal with.
