Didn't think about that, Thanks for the advise.

Does anyone know what the average time is to complete IOE? I have two 4 day IOE trips scheduled. If things go well do I get signed off? If things don't go well then what?

Also, how long is OOE?

I got signed off in two 4 day trips, so did my sim partner. OOE probly a 3 or 4 day trip....

Lots of guys getting hired at mainline in their 50's. QOL at AA wholly owned airlines sounds atrocious. The sure way to AA is through a wholly owned. The fastest way to AA is not through a wholly owned.

I am 45 and would like to see what answers you get in this.

Thanks for your input!

united is hiring guys in their late 50s. age discrimination is against the law

Not necessarily. Airlines don't have to hire someone just because they're qualified. UA, DL, AA etc can use their discression to hire a pilot. A 55+ y/o pilot doesn't have to get hired if the company feels that their investment won't warrant enough yield.

Not out of training anymore.
Maybe at the end of IOE, maybe. Last 4 classes have gotten ORD, I'd know I'm in one of them.
Most junior guy at sfo is probably a late november hire.

We usually consider a new hire to be awarded a base if they get it before finishing training. If you are initially awarded ORD, but get a transfer to your base of choice before the completion of training, isn't it like you were never based in ORD?......cuz you weren't.:rolleyes:
By the way, IOE is considered a part of training.
