Some instructors were talking about it and thought it was a ridiculous requirement, since you don't get a type rating during it and they only have a couple different sims that meet the weight requirement like the BBJ and ERJ. Just messing around in those platforms for the CTP requirements without learning the aircraft or getting a type rating.
