Yes, it is true.

 

Yes there was a few e120 ca -e175 ca that needed a lot of time. But the data on that amount of ioe represents less then 1% of the training... So i would say not true. If it was 3-4 per month getting 50+ hrs then yes. But thats a once a year event... Not to mention SFO E175 numbers squed do to flow times. So block bs actual flying was alowed more do to all the flow/taxi time..

 

Looks like you are hanging on to the CRJs a while longer.

Skywest Extends CRJ Support Amid MRJ Uncertainty | MRO content from Aviation Week

US regional operator Skywest and its subsidiary ExpressJet have extended a heavy maintenance deal with Bombardier Services for an additional 10 years.

While good news for Bombardier, the deal may be another nail in the coffin for Skywest’s order for the Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ).

Skywest ordered 100 MRJ90s in 2012, but doubts have persisted about whether scope clause agreements can be adjusted to accept the aircraft, which at a maximum take-off weight of 39,600kg is a fraction over the limits set for regional aircraft pilots in the US.

While Skywest has never stated how many of its 433 Bombardier CRJ aircraft – comprising 234 CRJ200s, 135 CRJ700s and 64 CRJ900s – the MRJ order would replace, its new maintenance deal with Bombardier covers the entire Skywest and ExpressJet CRJ fleet.

“Bombardier’s CRJ Series airliners continue to be essential to our two airlines’ fleets and have helped our company become one of the largest regional jet operators in the world,” said Wade Steel, CCO, SkyWest.
Heavy checks can be performed at any of Bombardier’s maintenance facilities in the US, including Tucson Air Center, West Virginia Air Center and Macon Air Center.

Skywest was originally due to begin receiving the MRJ from 2017, but earlier this year its chief executive conceded that it wouldn’t be able to do so until scope clause contracts at partner carriers were altered.

This fact could also prove a roadblock for Skywest’s order for 100 E175-E2 regional jets, a model that is also heavier than scope clauses at major carriers such as United and Delta allow.

Both Skywest and Trans State Holdings, another US customer for the MRJ and E2, hope that the next round of labour talks brings scope clause relief – a hope that was dashed in Delta’s last negotiations in 2015.

Fortunately for Mitsubishi, which has delayed first delivery of the aircraft until mid-2018, this means that its US customers probably welcome missed deadlines in the aircraft program.

 

Out of 45 new hires in my class last year, I know positively of at least 6 guys who needed more than 50 hours of IOE, and one needed more than 100hrs. The majority finished in under 50hrs, however.

 

VD is off on Mondays.

 

That explains it, Thanks! So here's to
Hoping it comes out tomorrow. Strange there seems to be no consistency to the date the DVR posts.

She do what she want!

 

Holy crap. Just made me go look up my IOE.. I had 28 hrs in 11 legs at my airline, which was my first 121 carrier and first jet. the average leg being over 2 hrs. Which did at least give us a lot of time to talk about stuff, and LCA had me take most of the landings. What does one even do in 50 hours of IOE? Don't get what's so tricky about flying the line... 100 is just insane. Was this people that had been away from flying for years or something?
