Be a lot cooler if they didn’t do that

nah fam. It’s cool that they can. More leverage for the pilots and also LCA burnout is real. You can’t fly single pilot forever… eventually you will need a break where you fly a month with normal FOs.

Not saying they shouldn’t be able to, just saying he mentioned it was 5 full trips with LCAs and going on a 6th one. Seems like that’s possibly 5-6 LCAs not being utilized which is a lot with the shortage of them already

They gave LCAs the option to "black out" certain trips so no IOE is added. Sometimes LCA wants to adjust their schedule or drop a trip and you really don't want LCAs to do IOE unless they are willing and giving 100 percent.

You should share these opinions to the LCAs, I am sure they would appreciate the gripe.

I’ll do whatever you tell me to do. It was also a semi-sarcastic comment. Next time if you continue reading, you’ll see that

Both realities can exist at once. Scheduling errors do happen by CS. LCAs do get burned out.

I can understand why LCA's wouldn't want to do IOE. It's a lot of work. I did one IOE trip after waiting for 14 weeks (LOE first week of January) and the rest got pulled until further notice. It's a bummer.

My concern is I've already gotten 18 hours in the jet (50 is the max to do a line check, before special tracking I believe?) so I just hope I retain the progress I made so far on that first trip

Don’t worry about the hour caps. In an environment like this, they’re going to do everything they can to keep you on track and get you signed off. Even if you were to have a second trip back-to-back, each LCA will have a slightly different way of approaching things that makes you feel as though you’re still on the learning curve (and you will be until about a year on the line).
