2. Yes. But I get nowhere near 100hrs of block a month but I always credit close to 100. I get credit more if I was a workaholic. I know some guys crediting 125hours a month.
3. Depends on your base. If you go to DTW, basically you'll get a line as soon as your able to bid (depends what day of the month if you finish IOE, so you could get reserve for as little as 3 weeks-2 months), or you could go to a different base and be on reserve for much longer. It's a dynamic environment right now.
4. DEN is close to 6-8 months from new hire start date (plan 2-4 months for training). Again, this is also dynamic. Feb 2016 hires got Denver before finishing training.
5. E175: LAX, SFO. CRJ: ORD, MSP, DTW
6. Depends on deductions and how much you fly or if you are reserve etc but I've seen anywhere from $2000-3200 takehome per month pay first year.

Thanks for the answers! You have a PM as well.

Who else here is still waiting on IOE for the CRJ? I'm getting bored.

Why don't you enjoy the time off? Because I can assure you, it's going to be a while before you get any break like this again.

Reminder "paid time to wait" is only min guarantee... finish IOE so you can pick up trips and actually make money.

Also.. possibly check in with The IOE coordinator to make sure you are listed as able to do IOE in any base and that you're actually on the list if you notice people below you are getting assigned before you. I went 2 weeks and called to find out an unchecked paperwork error didn't even have me on the IOE list [emoji849]. It happens. Best of luck

And so is reserve.. so you might as well enjoy the paid time off. Because unless you live in base where you are in reserve good luck picking up any trips and sustaining any sort of a normal life.

How long is the current wait for IOE? I remember some of the recruiters saying there was a decent down-time after ground school and sims.

Started class in September, had the checkride first week of November. I will be shocked if I get a call for IOE before the new year. I have a friend who started class the first week of August and he still hasn't heard anything.

Wow! I can't imagine this is normal.. What's the hold up? Just lack of captains available to fly with the newbies?

A couple of the 8-22 class have started IOE in the last couple of days. So, like you I'm guessing those of us who started in September may not fly until the new year. I hope I haven't forgotten everything.
