Well, that is ridiculous. While I think operating both variants is perfectly doable, I'm not sure how you can consider 1 day of ground and 1 day of sim "way too much". Operating the slats/flaps & EMER flaps is not enough. V1 cuts should very much be seen in the sim as the FADEC handles APR power differently. The possibility of a flameout & auto-relight loop should be seen. You've also got significantly different sight picture for approach, abnormal procedures with significant differences, etc. This is not a differences course that should be done by memo. The previous program was probably longer than needed, but I wouldn't want to see less than what they are doing now.
