Week 5 & 6 Simulators
Week 7 & 8 Line training (Saudi Arabian flights are normal)
Plus allow about 10-12 days of contingency delays/planning issues
As a rough guide a type rated pilot should be on line within 10-11 weeks.
Things that would delay this
Failure of technical exam
Failure of sims
Failure of line checks
Failure = extra training = delays
My advise come well prepared and don't expect to be given much leeway in terms of failure.
Sad to say that a few have been lost lately due poor performance with jobs at previous airlines left and no Plan B.
It looks relaxed and 8 weeks is a short time 😎😎😎😎. Most procedures im sure are more or less the same, no much difference from Boeing normal procedures.
