OK that's what the norm is. About 3 weeks indoc/systems and than cpt, sim, etc. That's why I was confused at group session they said 13 weeks, and someone earlier posted 3 months.

Also, does anyone know if you can only take partial bonus (tax planning)?

That makes much more sense. I don't think my first line trip was until about a month later. I had four days off before my first IOE trip and a few off before my second IOE trip.

I applied before the big hiring spree. So there maybe a delay. AirlineApps or PSA.com?

They don't make the grid red -- that would mean the day was critical. They keep it in the black and adjust it up and down as the number of available reserves goes up and down when it's under their "minimum". That's what the reserve grid manipulation and critical pay arbitration is all about.
