Not trying to come off as a "yes" man, but if you live in domicile would you rather do a 4 hour sim period or a 3 leg night hub turn to knock down your leveling?

Maybe I'm just a sick pup, but if I could live in domicile and practice a V1 cut or air turn back or various emergency procedures every two to three months (or more) I'd do it. Imagine how easy your CLOE would be if you'd already done every event a couple times in the previous month? Yeah...you shouldn't show up for a sim unprepared, but most of us have been going to the sim every 6 months anyway and still keeping our jobs, so I don't think doing it every 2-3 months would be any worse. I for one would enjoy the training now and then. If we have/get a 767 sim in Asia (and we STILL don't have a working one in MEM I'd do it once a month.

But the good thing is if you hate the idea, you can say no.

When I was in the Air Force we did a monthly Emergency procedure review, often in a cockpit mock-up. I still try to force myself to review the QRH periodically, but I think supporting a sim and running a checklist or two every month or two would do an even better job of keeping my own head in the game. YMMV.

There is a lot to dislike about this LOA. This is one little part I don't dislike.
