I totally disagree with what you say, and I am a LCA at my airline. Yes, numbers and pitch should be taught in the sim, but that's not everything. There is a lot to be taught about how to land a new airplane, I don't care how much experiance you have. Any pilot who feels an OE captain is not a flight instructor is kidding himself. Further, any OE captain/LCA who does not say anything about how to land the airplane during a four day rotation should not be doing OEs.
