Interestingly, he also was VERY cognizant if the fact that I commuted from MIA, and did everything in his power to gain valuable minutes on our last flights into JFK each week to help me make my commute home to Florida. He was the most annoying, yet also one of the most helpful guys I flew with.

Jim was an AA pilot that was "loaned" to Eagle to work in MGMT many years ago while remaining on the AA seniority list. He officially retired awhile back. He's now officially on the Envoy seniority list so he can stick around and do E175 deliveries and other special flights.

Jim was always an eagle pilot. Years back he flowed to AA, then after indoc he returned to eagle on loan from AA.

I eventually lost my $h1t with him while enroute to God only knows where (Columbus, Ohio, I think) in a Saab 340B. Lost my $h1t. Went ballistic. Later on in the hotel, over beers, he apologized, but admitted that he is who he is, and he realized he was a PITA, but admitted he’d likely never change, which I respected. But still...

Hahaha...I got into it with him in a 0500 van because he wouldn’t shut up about some little issue. Turned and asked his name, then as he tried to continue, I told him to shut up because I only wanted to know his name so I would never have to fly with him...and he wasn’t even on my equipment. The dead look in his FOs eyes told the story of how that 4 day was going.

That was also the point I realized I was ready to upgrade 😂

What does a typical-ish training timeline look like? I understand it's a couple weeks of indoc, followed by a couple weeks for CBTs. About how long is one in the sims before moving to OE?

On the E190 it is usually 4 weeks from setting foot in the door at CLT to “checkride”. CBTs are the first 3 days of GS, though other fleets do them at home. OE typically starts less than a week after finishing sims.
