Bingo. I did my IOE with the #25 guy in the company so he didn't have any of those time waster 4 days. I had just about 30 hours in 7 days.

It depends by company on the availability of IOE captains and how soon the company needs you on the line. So some people have said they got to choose, I did not, I got told where to turn up and what I was flying.

Has anyone had bad IOE experiences?

And you'll just roll with it while on reserve, and while being a junior line holder and when weather hits the hub, etc etc etc. Name of the game in this business is roll with it. If you're not able to adapt when things don't go exactly to plan then you are going to have a rough time in this business.
