Having worked for one particular OEM, simulators are not considered "core business" so the whole simulator training program gets outsourced. Then the company to whom it has been outsourced has to make a business decision as to whether there are enough aircraft sales in a region to sustain a simulator.

I actually think this is completely wrong and counter productive. OEMs should be forced to provide sim training and data, even if they are actually built by another party.
