Well I can tell you it's at least 2 weeks...I'm coming up on 2 weeks in 2 days and I'm expecting it to be at least another week, you can try calling the training department because crew scheduling doesn't deal with IOE scheduling...but they can't give you an exact date only will say yea it's coming up based on a trend that they can read off a computer screen. We had a captain that took her PC on the 9th of March and she called and they told her it was at least going to be another 2 weeks from yesterday, on the other hand another captain was on IOE in my class a week and a half after his PC on the 28th of Feb. It's al a guessing game and your captain will prob go before you, but thats not always the case...my suggestion is just take some time off get away for awhile and just be patient, your getting paid to sit around and do nothing...it doesn't get any better than this...I keep telling my self when IOE does come I'm gunna be like damn, I wish I would have gone here, here, and here when I had the chance.
