Does anyone know how long the initial fleet training timeline is for each fleet (320/737/756/777/787) post Indoc and IFT? I was wondering how long the current wait is between IFT and starting sims and also how long the actual training footprint is for each type. Thanks!

There's not much of a break. In Dec, sim start time varied from 2 days to 2 weeks for 737/320/777. A buddy was awarded 757 on this last vacancy and had the remainder of his initial 737 training cancelled and given a 757 start date 12 days later.

Crazy times indeed.
The junior pilot gauranteed a line as a EWR 777 FO for January is 14499 on the seniority list. That seniority was hired in summer of 2022!!!!! So took a whole 6 months of seniority to become a 777 line holder. I would have bet the value of my 401K that the time to hold a line would have been measured in years, but the movement we have currently continues to blow all the convential wisdom we collectively have right out of the water.
I imagine it won't be long till we see similar progression in SFO as we are sending more and more niw hires there and continue to have more unfilled assignements.

I'd 100% take the 737 in IAH right now. Looks like the company is growing that quite a bit. 757 is fairly small and senior. Look (to me) like pretty meh trips, too.
