This.
There is no "gouge" as it will vary by class and equipment. The current plan is to hire as many pilots as can be trained so lots of effort will be spent filling every available sim period.
The specific time off a buddy had last month will have zero bearing on what happens next month. If a certain fleet starts getting backed up beyond reason they will simply throttle back new-hires on that fleet. And on the flip side if sim time opens up (either at TK or remote facility) they will pour students into it.
