So it was down to about a month for those hired in October of 2016. This was due to a large hiring blitz tied to the new bonus offered right after.
Now, it appears to be nearing three months although a friend of mine is on his second and he is right at the cusp of holding a composite. My official/unofficial answer would be 2-3 months unless you were hired after say January 2017, in which I may be even longer.
Keep in mind however that they did get four more aircraft which to my understanding they haven't hired for yet in addition to a large number still in IOE, so that time frame could drop again real quick.
At the end of the day we can complain about three months, it could be much much worse.

Alright I need some help with bidding lines next month. I'm on reserve this month and I have my last three days this month as reserve days.
1.If I bid a four day trip starting on day one next month and bid the transition will the company (most likely) just convert my reserve day into a TL?
2.If I don't bid the transition and it's a trip that goes through ORD/MIA and never returns to DFW except for the start and end will the whole trip get dropped and a 7D get coded with no pay on that day? If the company drops me from the entire trip can I go back behind it and pick up OT?
3. Anyone have any tips on how they use the transition to optimize pay or QOL?

2. I have never seen them drop an entire trip in this situation; they'll most likely just deadhead you to or from domicile as necessary.
3. To maximize pay make sure you get pay protected by selecting "transition" under the bidding options. For QOL, it's pretty much luck of the draw with which day they remove for legality, and exactly how they decide to break the trip up.

Plan on a month at home. Once we get more check airmen then the time between QLOE and IOE will drop. For now I suggest enjoying some time off, and maybe riding a jumpseat or two in order to keep familiar with the airplane, but that's entirely up to you.

I was hoping for some time off but I have a feeling it'll only be a week. I hope I'm wrong. Thanks MD-11Loader.

And yes, everyone, including the examiner that did my QLOE told us to expect some time off.

My self and i believe it was an air whisky guy sitting across from me we couldn't hold in our laughter.
The other pax were looking around and asking questions, they knew it was only an hour and 15 or 20 min flight.
Why does envoy let the fa's make announcements regarding flight info like that ?
