Consolidation hours
Can someone please walk me through the hours required for consolidation after initial training and what happens if those hours aren’t met within the time frame? If they aren’t met do you have to go back through the entire initial all over again?

100 hrs in 120 days or something like that. You don’t get it done you get to go back to the sim. Don’t ask me what you do in there....I’ve never had a problem meeting the req.

You won’t have any problems getting there. You’ll have over 25 by the end of IOE. They’ll schedule you a hard line the rest of that month and the entire next month and you’ll have well over 100 in that time period. Only issue would be some catastrophic health or family tragedy, and the company will bend over backwards to help you through it.

So I’m actually going to have a schedule conflict during that time of consolidation, so I may not be able to get the 100 hours like most people coming off training. So that why I’m asking what happens if we can’t get the time, because there is a chance I won’t.

If you still don’t make it, you go to the sim for an LOE/PC and your clock is reset.
