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?

A lot of people struggle with the speed of the jet and 121 ops combined. I've heard from others that are coming in as career changers or hobbyists that they can't keep up with the automation on the 175. Whatever it is you only hear the bad.... I've never heard an a LCA say, O man this one student was so good I could have signed him off after one flight. The long IOE gets regurgitated amongst pilots to push an agenda of making themselves feel better since they did it in a normal amount of hours.

This right here.

SKW typically assigns approximately 35 hrs IOE as standard. It used to be, if you weren't signed off by 50 hours, you were shown the door. However almost everyone in my class was done within 35 hours and I think one guy had maybe an extra 5 hours.

I do know of one pilot, not in my class, who was signed off after more than 100 hours IOE. But stories like that are very much the anomaly.

I did a thread search and came up with nothing recent. Any news/rumors about IAH?

Prior to the requirement for all airline pilots to have an ATP, I gave IOE at what was then American Eagle. Most of the new hires in those days had 350-500 hours or so. Most took anywhere from 35-50 hours to finish IOE, but they showed progress each flight, so we continued until they finally "got it" well enough to be safe line pilots. In three years, I had maybe two new hires who hit 100 hours.

During my interview they were suggesting there's a *chance* that IAH has the potential to grow, but nobody knows for sure. I'm hoping it sticks around since I'm a Houston native and would like to move back home for a bit.
