January or early February, I think. The interview dates were from 1-3 of March I think.

I didn't end up going after talking to a couple people that work there... I had an idea what it is like but I don't want to go somewhere based on what I hope their new contract will bring and the fact that they might lose the home basing. Not that they would have hired me. For the comparison, I have been sending things to Atlas, Kalitta, and keeping an eye out for lucrative contract work.

NightIP is a hardcore Mac nerd and will likely be able to answer that question.


I am looking for a update on the IOE bottleneck? Has anyone else heard anything about June / July classes?

I talked to a guy who just finished Boeing sim.

He said he'll be sitting home 3 -ish months waiting for IOE. According to him, many of the Boeing check airmen bolted to the 777 which Omni is bringing aboard, resulting in a lack for the 75/76's. Once the new cadre of check airmen is trained up things should begin to move.

Last I heard (on this thread), some mid-Feb interviews have been called for a mid-June Boeing class

I just talked to a friend from the October class, and they're just getting into IOE now. Nothing happens quickly here.

I just did Aerosim freeplay mode a couple times a week to keep up to speed with flows/profiles. I also did the daily grind every so often to keep my head in memory items and limitations. I know it's really dry reading, but it's also a good idea to get your head into the LROM from time to time to keep refreshed on all that stuff (that oceanic checklist is really helpful for studying).

Doing just those things, I felt pretty good going into OE. Hope it helps!
