SAABarooski is right, this is directly related to experience level. It just makes things easier on you when you've practiced it more.

s10an, there's a profile that instructors follow. You're supposed to be at a certain level of competence at a certain point. The instructors have little choice in thier approach. The training syllabus could be changed to give low times more time to catch up, but that's well above the pay grade of the sim instructors.

When I went through new hire at PSA they were very concerned about the washout rate being in the 6-10% range, and they raised their minimums after my class to get it back down to the 2-4% range. I guess that they think sim time is cheaper than QOL improvements to keep FO's around.
