True. I only spoke to the pilot aspect.
I honestly, I don't know much about XJT MX - how efficient or inefficient they are. But I am pretty sure that the XJT fleet is large enough to have an efficient MX program. Minimum efficient scale is around 20-25 airframes for most airliners. You will still have some scale effects after that but you enter an area of diminishing marginal returns.
