I'm absolutely not advocating cutting flights to be replaced by sims, just pointing out that much more can be gained in the sim these days than could have been gained in the (fairly recent!) past.
I am not going to give you an exact answer because I'm not at work, but in the past 2-3 months I've flown red for TI, in LFEs, for other platforms and for in-house training.
Of course you have sweetheart….hit me with some of those LFEs and other platforms you’ve flown F35 as Red Air for as I’m sure I’ll have been around.
