We had about a month wait between orientation and indoc. Some others in the same orientation will be waiting 2 months prior to indoc.
Right now, there's a month wait between indoc and the rest of class. I could be wrong but I don't believe there are any delays after this.

It is going to be a very rough road ahead once you hit the line.

Are new hires still being given orientation at home and delayed waiting for indoc to start or have those people mostly been caught up now?
Are there any major delays in training\any done at home?
If assigned the 175 how long approximately to hold MIA?
TIA and appreciate any additional info via PM or here.

Make sure you get the union new pilot guide, available on the ALPA website. It is an Envoy pilot’s guide to a lot of things. Ask pilot mentors about submitting your bid to change base. Bids have been quarterly, closing the beginning of January, April, June and October.

It can be hit and miss, but most quarterly bids have allowed for movement between bases. You could see it before you finish training, or it may take three to six months.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

3/10 orientation was at the hotel (Double Tree). I believe 47 was the total there. It lasted a few hours. We got our #s then went on payroll and given instructions on how to login, etc. First group *could* start class (InDoc day 1) as early as 4/4, but 4/18 is my bet.
In company email we had Learning Center assignments (onboarding videos, HR, about the company, etc).
Our understanding is on day one of actual class we will get the bid drop for base and equipment. Training should be about 74 days, some home study but most in person, with a goal of once you start you run the full course without long delays. (I hear Mesa is stalled waiting on sim timeslots).
Best guess would be MIA 175 FO would be pretty quick (one cycle perhaps) to get.

Study Ahead for Training?
I realize you're not assigned an aircraft until in ground school, but would it be advantageous to study either a cockpit poster of the 145 or 175 ahead of time? Also, do both aircraft have basically the same cockpit setup regarding locations of panels, switches, flows, etc? Thanks for any information you all may give!

I also wouldn’t pre-study unless I had valid company materials. All 121 operators teach a slightly company specific version of systems. You’d think it’s all the same, but everyone has their own emphasis, their own acronyms, often even company specific limitations.
Its easier to just learn it right the first time instead of unlearning something. That gets confusing.
