I truly hope most people don’t think the only LGA flying is the shuttle. That’s just not the case. There are lots of multi-day trips.

True. In fact, last I checked the trip length is pretty evenly spread across the flying -- about 25% each 1, 2, 3, and 4 day trips. The only oddity I saw is no 5 day trips in LGA. Haven't checked EWR, though that's where I ultimately want to end up once I can hold a line.

Hey man, saw your post in 9E and I figured I’ll answer it over here since I saw it again. Unfortunately due to sim availability at Republic (and any 175 operator) AND line check airmen availability at 9E. There will be around 4-5 week gaps in both trainings at both places. Try to remember though that while delays may be long for the 175 sim, you’ll definitely be flying more once you hit the line at Republic vs Endeavor due to the amount of reserve pilots that Endeavor has currently. If yours looking for quickest to fly, and get through training it’s Mesa and Skywest depending on which aircraft you get.

I’m sure others will chime in with a more specific timeline but 3-4 months including delays from day 1 of Indoc to hitting the line seems to be about the average. Keep in mind at Endeavor that means hitting the line and not flying too much if you don’t live in base.

Then you should go to a Regional that has the CRJ. E-170 sims are backed up across the board. Skywest there is almost no reserve and upgrade right when you hit 1000 hours for the 200.

Thanks for the replies about the multi-day trips out of LGA...that is exactly what I was hoping to hear!
