They are trying to mitigate that.
That makes sense to a point. After IPT's and sims, you have a decent working knowledge of flows, callouts, and procedures. Flying the line for a few months is what really solidifies this knowledge. If you have to wait 2-3 months after your sims to start flying, you will forget a lot of information. Even if you sit in front of your poster for a little bit each day, you will not be fresh when IOE finally begins.
