Which airframe? Wondering how long of a wait for IOE on the ERJ.

And what are people doing while they wait? All the observation flights their hearts desire?

Just finished my ILOE a couple days ago. Not looking forward to forgetting where the cockpit is lol

Don't complain yet, just enjoy the last holiday off you'll have for the foreseeable future.

I’m CRJ, and yeah from what I have heard ERJ does have a shorter wait time for IOE.

Yeah ideally you want to do at least 1 jump seat observation flight (down and back) a week so you don’t forget anything.

Oh I’m not complaining. Still getting paid so I guess I’m still employed. Unless there’s a glitch in the system lol

In todays hiring environment you can get to a major relatively quick if you have kept your nose clean but as we all know that can change quickly. A flow is a guaranteed backup plan which we should all have.

Oh you mean the captains that haven't had their resume/app reviewed? the ones that haven't been to a job fair? the ones that don't do any extra involvement at work? the ones that don't volunteer outside of work? the ones that don't want to get a college degree online?

In today's environment, you can get to a major quickly without flow. In the opposite environment, flow isn't going to help much anyway.

Flow programs are retention programs for regional airlines, and retention = stagnation.

No, the ones who work 90-100 hours a month and have a family and other commitments to take care of when they are not working.

This past/current regional/major system is broken and you’ve obviously been apart of it for too long and you’re jaded. We don’t deserve an A/B scale. A flow or guaranteed interview gets everyone there that wants to be. It’s a long time coming and should’ve been here long ago.

the current regional system has too many pilots for that to work unless the dwell time on an RJ is around a decade
