FAA put some restrictions on the sim bc some of the data did not conform to embraer data. Picked up extra slots in STL though

I recently finished sims. Took 2.5 months, including 4 weeks off after Systems/ Procedures. 9 months from Indoc to beginning SOE.

July new hires are just now finishing sims and starting SOE. Delay between systems and sims is 6-8 weeks and increasing. Not sure what the delay is between indoc and systems is at the moment.

Training Time

Hate to sound lost, but can someone throw out the steps and approx. wait time time frame for training? I have Idoc in May and trying to plan a bit. Next comes ground school after a delay? Thanks for the help

That being said every regional has its own **** sandwich one way or another. PDT is training backlog and schedules going by the posts on here.

Envoy is pay, reserve rules, metering of the flow and un-sustainable expansion.

Wait times seem to be dropping as more sim availability comes open but everything is subject to change.
