The Fracasa at SkyWest is challenging 15-20 minute ride in a very touchy sim. In my group, the current 121/135 guys did not have to do the sim ride. I did, and so did a CFI based on the logic that I wasnt current and that CFI's watch a lot of flying without actually doing a lot of that flying. I'd recommend 5-7 hours in a 141/142 if you can get it.
