Wiley,
Regardless of how many hours there are available for a simulator to be used, the squadrons simply don't need it that much. There may be 50 (only a guess) 2FTS grad waiting for a conversion but the operational squadrons simply don't need more pilots, that is the reason they aren't training the backlog....not becasue of sim unavailability.
My squadron boggies are averaging 300hrs a year. That is not healthy. We simply don't need more boggies, getting less hours and leaving thinking they have done a tour.
