most airlines do have company limits, but there is no FAR giving a max limit.
as my check airman told my on my line check to finish IOE at TSA (which i did in 39.9hrs) that most people are usually let go if they don't finish in 40hrs because it could be a liability to the company later if said pilot goes off the end of the runway at a later date.
it takes as long as it takes, but hopefully not so long that you miss out on a few bid periods

When do ya'll think enough becomes enough, and then becomes ridiculous (regarding hours on IOE, that is)? My numbers:
TSA: ~28 hours
SKW ~40 hours (extra time is only the result of better paying trips ;-P LoL)
I've heard Mesa's FO's are routinely taking 80 hours on IOE...they're not hiring any more low-timers than the likes of TSA etc. Why the vast difference, then?

Possibly the training dept at mesa sucks big time(so i've heard) don't know much about TSA training dept. Overall it doesn't really matter how long it takes as long as the product at the end of OE is a safe competent pilot. A guy I know had an engine failure his first flight and the way he handled it made it clear to the captain that he was ready for the line after a 4 day. My first approach was a CAT 2 down to mins. Talk about pucker factor.
