The Sim is really a mute point.
They could use the Air NZ sim if Airbus wont come to the party and supply a sim to Oz.
The question I'm keen to ask is why did Impulse offer to fly these aircraft for lower rates ($120,000 I believe) compared with Virgin Blue who pay their Captains $150,000+ !!!
Even
VB think their pilots are worth more than the K120 Impulse has offered in order to prostitute themselves and pilots in general.
Bet your gonads these guys (apart from a few management pilots) will have to pay for their own endorsement!!
