After my checkride, I actually waited 3 weeks before my first IOE trip, and I was one of the first guys in my class to begin. I'm not sure what the current wait time for IOE is, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's up to a month to 5 weeks. That wait time will start coming down now that they have slowed down the hiring.

For those of you that went through Comair's training, did you guys need your laptop while you were there? I have one, but it is all messed up and probably wont be reliable, wasnt sure if I should get a new one.

I'm on IOE right now, watied 2 weeks to the day. My sim partner only waited 1 week. They hired, or trained a bunch of new check airmen and got caught up.

I think the wait for observations right now is about 1.5 weeks. IOE is about 2-2.5 weeks. Enjoy your (paid) time off, because once you start hitting the line, you wish you would have this much time off.
