Be honest
Flat out truth, it's some of both.

The current syllabus is old and there haven't been updates in years. Also, our new DOT sees we need to do more for the lower time new hires. This program wasn't designed for that.

Great example of that is we are now using that fancy non motion FTD in DFW. We need it because we don't have enough TSTs but believe me it hasn't gone unnoticed how much ahead the new hires are who use it when they get to the sim.

Unfortunately, a TST is $200k-$300k. That FTD is $1 million. Guess what we're buying more of?
