Easy there killer. I think you’re taking his message a little too personal.
IOE stands for initial operating experience. After you’ve passed all your sims and have your type rating, you’ll be paired with a specially trained captain ( line check air,an) who can fly, teach, and show you the ropes. They’ll help you to make the transition from sim to the actual airplane. As was said before, you really want to complete this in about 25 hours. Then you’ll be released to the line where scheduling will try to get you 100 hours total within 90 days of your checkride, otherwise you’ll have to go back to the sim. Once released from IOE you’ll fly with normal line captains in whatever base you were awarded from training.
Hopefully this helps

Has not been offered to new hires for years. Quite senior. Someone hired in July was just awarded it effective March, so about 5 months of commuting for him. At least 3 more waiting to get in which could take 1 vacancy, 3, or 10 based on entirely unpredictable variables. Additionally now you run the risk of being awarded the 737 which is SFB and PIE only. Best case scenario you have to train to completion for the 737 and then complete a whole additional training course. Worse case scenario you're seat locked.

It's very hard to answer because it is such a small base and entirely depends on if anyone senior to you is waiting for it and how many quit. Expect 2-8 months of commuting I'd say. Yes, 2 spots went to 2 new hires this last class so whoever else comes in will essentially need to wait for someone to quit as the base is very stagnant except for resignations. The next class looks like it will be offered only spots in LAX, DSM, ATW, FNT, GRR and IWA, with LAX by far having the most need.
