Indoc, 5 days in Charlotte
12 days Home study: Computer based training on systems; memorize limitations, QRH items, initial “scans” (setup items), flows, and a few other items that set up success when procedures training starts.
2 weeks in Charlotte (weekends off), non-aircraft specific items; systems details, intro to the FMS
Procedures and sims scheduled as they figure out where and when availability happens. Roughly 5 days of each with weekends off. We were advised a brake before each is possible, but efforts are done to keep the off time short.
Sim locations are CLT, ATL, DFW, PHX. You are permitted to ask for a preferred location.

IOE instructors are ****ed. The company hasn’t been paying them like they’ve been supposed to since the new pay rates went into effect. That may stifle some extra work being done to speed things along.

2 weeks to 6+ months depending on your background, their interest, and who you have on the inside with hookups in HR who can get someone to look for your application when it falls through the cracks or airlineapps filters hold it up.

I had read about their schedules being inefficient, 11-12 days off for eternity, for the most part. Do the schedules normally include lots of sitting around at the airport for hours at a time between flights, or long overnights?
Whenever I’ve viewed Piedmont flights on flightaware there is very little activity at any given time.

Thank you, Otterbox.
