Been occasions of FOs not having their workbooks done during IOE because of class dates. One guy was actually brave enough to pull his new legacy onboarding paperwork out in cruise during IOE. Captain check airman called when on the ground, pilot was removed.
So yes, the policy is IF the check airman gets wind that an FO has a class date at a legacy, their IOE will be suspended, as they are trying to get FOs on the line who will actually fly the line.
I didn’t think this airline had the ability to do that. Considering how bad we’re apparently hurting for FOs, you’d think that even with practically both feet out the door, having an FO who’s getting ready to leave still operate the flight gets a butt in the seat.
