The training level of the pilots would be an interesting follow-up. I don't know much about the simulator curriculum, but I would imagine that pilots are rotated through simulator time as quickly as practical as part of the cost cutting regimen. Are airline pilots faced with go-round simulations on LCC's or are they run through like the proverbial sausage machine with just the checks required for recency experience?
