That's correct, however recently all new hire classes are getting pushed straight through. Some of the July 17 new hires* have there checkrides in the coming week.


*for the 145

I know of March new hires that have not checked yet (no failures or rechecks). Not sure what kind of order they're using to get people through.

I'm currently sitting in the same boat as you erjemb, although I'm not at your ten-week mark.... yet. I'm just behind you at 6 weeks. You've been 10 already?

Staying in the books and studying is really hard to motivate for right now. I wish I at least knew an end date, even if they said "hey, you're scheduled for December 3rd" so I could plan my life...

I heard we've been promised three or four make-up sims before our check-rides (MV or LOE). I hope that is true because at this point, we're absolutely going to need that as a minimum, I believe.

Ten weeks here also, waiting for MV and LOE, no rechecks no failures.
I even requested to be allowed to sit in a few systems classes currently going and also on CPT's as an observer and possible training partner, to try to refresh my fading knowledge, but no answer (as ALWAYS).

If you live in the DFW area, just show up and ask the instructor. Explain your situation and I don't see why they'd say no. You might even be able to convince scheduling to arrange for a hotel there if you're not in that area. Squeaky wheel gets the grease situation.

^^^ This. As long as they are not checking, there is no problem for a ride along. Be proactive.
