Discussion in the Ops room led me to believe the way they are managing it is to further reduce sim time. So not only is sim now done with one instructor between two students instead of the one on one it was a few years ago, but sim time is to be reduced by half.
Never heard such BS. When was it reduced before? Ab initio training in the college/academy is mostly 1 instructor/2 students. When staff have been available, it's been one-on-one. Sim time has increased and the course which came out on Friday had more sim time than any previous course.
