How long did you have to wait for IOE, and when did you do it?

This is certainly not the case. I can tell you I’ve spoken to at least 4 LCA’s who had not done IOE consistently in the past couple of months. 2 had been waiting for students for a while and this is a small sample. I am more inclined to say it goes back to poor handling of the schedules on the company’s end, perhaps folks being out on vacation for year end festivities, etc.. I do believe they could be way more efficient with it.

Today’s hero of the day is the former DFW pilot who flowed to AA just a short time ago, cashed his check for $70,000 and is now in class at United. You sir have won the game of Life.

Is there not a requirement to stay a certain amount of time for that $70k?

Nope. That $70K is to keep you at a WO as the golden carrot on the end of the stick. You “earn it” by sticking it out until the flow or you’re hired OTS.

True legend. Especially after the way Envoy treated him a while back.
