1- new hires want to fly asap to digest and practice what they've learned in the school house.
2- veterans are comfortable in the plane, processes and using the systems and welcome being home.
Move on...

I've only heard the new FMS will have ADS-B out and more memory. The boxes look the same. Still Universal.

Same as the E175. People were talking about it saying "Were getting E175s!!!" back when I was on probation in 2007. Some things never change.

Training itself is 6 weeks. That includes ground school and sims. Most people when they ask about training length, that's what they are referring to.
If you want to include IOE as part of training...I would say about 5 weeks between your checkride and starting IOE. Then about two or three trips on IOE. But it's only about 6 weeks in the school house.

That's my thoughts exactly. Why spend the money when in 3 years they will be on the chopping block?
Isn't this like leasing a car when you had the option for sat nav installed at the sale, then just before the lease is up getting it installed? I don't get it.
