Training for a new hire consists of 3 training courses:
Basic Indoc - 2 weeks
Intro to Fleet Training - 2 days
Qualification Course - 24 Training Days (5 weeks) Including one week of CBT study.
IOE - Typically 2 Trips
No contractual breaks between courses but there is usually a few days between BI-IFT-Qualification Course.
You will have entitlements of 3 Training Days Off to be used after the qual course or IOE.
They will not schedule you for IOE until you have passed your QLOE. The delay could be 3 days or weeks. For the most part they have enough LCPs now to minimize delays after QLOE.
9-F-6 A Pilot shall have no more than five (5) training days in any seven (7) consecutive days, and
shall be scheduled for at least one (1) period of at least two (2) consecutive days off every two (2)
weeks. For purposes of this Section 9-F-6, a travel day is neither a training day nor a day off.
it is not two days off every 5 from contractual language. Know your contract, fly the contract, enforce the contract
