Full retrain or warm up?
Does anyone know how long you are out of the seat before you go through extended retrain? I’ve looked in two different places in the contract and have found nothing. I’m on a military deployment that will stretch between 4-6 contractual months away from AA. I’m worried that when I go back, I’m due an R9 and will go straight to it after a warm up ride. Still on probation so I’m not wild about failing an R9!

I’m pretty sure it’s around 6 months or so before you need a requal. I was gone for 2 years and did a “long” requal, and that was only 2 ground days, 2 sims and a check. Not nearly enough. Give training a call and ask. Always argue for the longest possible course you can get.
Unless you didn’t consolidate, you won’t get the full course unless you are gone for several years.

I was out on mil leave just short of 7 months immediately following OE and came back to a short requal. It consisted of an R9 plus an additional IPT with an instructor and that was it. I was quite nervous about it especially being on probation but it was a non-event.

Out of curiosity only.... Are these forced assignments (deployments) or by choice? Never understood not flying the airplane for a few months and getting that comfort level up if you have a choice. I get it reserve sucks but it’s part of the deal. No way AA will give you more sim then you need. We’ve had this for type of quick course for years without issue. Just like those who are on sick leave for 5 months and come back. It works just fine and you’ll be alright. Even if on probation.
