I absolutely believe Wigston is wrong.
I did my 767 conversion on ZFT. My conclusion: That worked as a highly experienced RAF pilot and 737 captain, but after 60 years of flying is that nothing, but nothing totally replaces real airborne time.
Supplement, yes, but the majority, no way !
….but what we would we know ??
