at PCL it was kinda up to you... I am based in DTW (initially) but asked and did all my OE in memphis (cause I live there). Others did OE in MSP that lived up there. Those who were going to just stay in DTW for the forseeable future just did it in DTW. Kinda vague but if there are enough check airmen I am sure you can request to do it at different bases, if you dont ask for something you will prob do it in the base in which you are based. As far as time, they will just bump an FO off a line trip and you will fly it with the check airmen. I had to do 30 hours and after the trip I actually had a little over 30 hours. Hope that helps.

It would depend on the company. If you are based at a small base, chances are there aren't any check airmen there. That being said, at most companies, the Company is required to positive space you from your assigned domicile to any training events, so as long as you live in domicile you should be able to get there.
Also, I did way more than 25 hours. I think I did 45 or so for OE.

That helps a lot. Thank you. Looks as though IOE can be a lot of fun if you are able to choose where you fly.

I told my company where I lived and they just deadheaded me from there to pick up my IOE trip. And it was exactly 25 hours...they pulled me off in the middle of the trip cuz I was done and they were pay-protecting the FO that got removed. Factor in the amount of time it takes for a captain to send in the paperwork to say I'm good to go and I got a nice looooong weekend.
