No it doesn't.

I saw that advertisement in AMS a few months ago.

Times are not good for TRTOs, right now, because fewer and fewer people are taking the risk of self sponsoring their TRs (of which I am glad). That's why we have "sales" now. But the base training is the problem. Along with the problem of keeping currency in type without actually flying the airplane.

They say that JAR FCL, right now, permits renewing type rating without the 10 sector in 12 months requierement. All you have to do is the sim. So you can be a 737 or 320 rated pilot for 30 years if you do 4 hours sim each year. Amazing, isn't it?

So maybe they will eliminate the requirement for a base training in the real airplane, too. In order to help the TRTOs in these times of crisis. They are suffering so much...
