Reason I ask is because unless I get a line in September, there is no way I will make my 100 hours so I'll have to get an extension. Even then I dunno if its possible. I finished OE with minimum hours and have only gotten 2 hours since (highspeed reserve). Have a little less than two months left until my 120.
You have 120 days from your PC to get 100 hours in type. If you don't make that, you can get a line check from an LCA and get an extra 30 days (150 days total) to get your 100 hours in type.
I finished OE back in February. I had the same problem as you (and many others) in that I had to receive a line check to extend me out to 150 days. Basically, it was just an out and back with an LCA. Upon getting close to my 150, I had to go out on a CVG turn on my day off (premium pay) and beat my pumpkin day by 2.4 hours. Missing that day would've been no fun as the result was a checkride and an oral all over again.
