Does anyone know what the current delays are in training? How long are guys sitting between blocks, or is that included in the 4 months in MIA? Are all fleets experiencing them or are some better/faster than others?

I don’t think 737 guys are experiencing the same delays but the other 3 fleets for sure. Someone said the last 76 class will go home after indoc and come back in February or so. My 74 class gonna finish in 4 months and some change. Every class is different.

Thanks. Hopefully I'll apply 100 hours out and get a class date for when I meet mins. Still would be hauling cargo at night, but at least I'd be warm here at Atlas.

I flew with a couple new FOs. Start to finish was about 8-9 months for them. That will change, but the training delays are large. Confusion about who's slated for what becomes a problem with large backlogs too.

We just had a new hire class that finished INDOC, and were then sent home for 5 months. I think classes are being sent home before the sims start, for weeks and/or months.

A week or two to work through the offers and class dates seems, reasonable, but don't let an entire month go by in a seniority based system.

As Clue32 mentioned, by all means follow up, but from what I hear classes are full until at least February or April (depends who you ask!). I think they cottoned on to the fact that paying people to sit at home for 4-5 months is suboptimal so have now cooled their jets a little with getting as many people into indoc as possible. Of course this is only based on observation and could be totally wrong!
