Now, don't get me wrong I am not complaining about this, the more guys we can keep employed (and below me) the better but the excuse about SIM time being purchased doesn't chive with me specially if they had reserved the slots and wouldn't need the any more they could reject the contract in CH 11. Now if they paid already that's a different story but again those SIM times could still be used for displaced line pilots not new hires.
The last new hire class was sometimes in November so I think anyone in that class is done with the sims anyways. I agree the sims could have been better used but back then, I dont think the training department had any better clue as to what was going on than we had.
