Finished my last sim for 7ER/A on December 27. First OE was 4 January. Next is 12 January and then a TOE on 22 JAN.
I'll be NYC based and both my OE's are ATL trips (3-days with DH at each end). My TOE is SVO from JFK.

What are you waiting for?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Its intimidating to be a new hire in that environment, particularly a low time (in general) one flying with an ultra high time in seat CA that never calls for checklists and and knows how to (and expects) flight idle from descent to 500' on every approach, etc.

No training program can produce pilots with 20 hours in type that are as proficient as pilots with 10,000 in type. Its not the biggest deal in the world. Its just one, of many, CRM threats that's all.

WRT this discussion, the moral of the story is we probably shouldn't be writing up most new hires or snaking them on their probie reports because they're not as awesome as the pilots some may be used to flying with for many, many years. And we should never snake someone behind their backs after shaking their hands after the trip like nothing happened.

Don't know what the RECOG is but the profit sharing check received in October was the company's best guess at what 5% of your flight pay would be for the year. Mine is off too. When added to the October check, I expect the February check to total approximately 15-16% of my flight pay plus flight advance.

Not sure I follow you here but, PS for the year is estimated to be 15-16%. So your check in Feb won't be 15-16%. It might be more than 10% because they just guessed on the 5%, but it won't be 15-16%. Just take your flight pay plus your flight advance and multiply that by 15-16% then subtract out what you already got. That for me comes out at 11% on the Feb check. That is a good guess until we see the final % they come up with for the payout.

Just finished 757 OE an hour ago. They gave me a week off after training and then the domestic three day. Depending on if you are a new hire or not, you will have a certain number of hours domestic. I have one day off and then 4 day TOE followed by three days off with a four day TOE after that...should give you the general idea....I know word came down from RA that he didn't want anyone just sitting around for weeks waiting to finish so be ready just in case. PM me with any questions and I'll tell you a few more tricks that may have worked in my favor....DW
