Without any new hire training in those three plus months there would have been around 15K hours of SIM recurrency events planned. I don't know how many other SIMs WN has, but it sure sounds like a lot of training.
They’ll get through training everyone by years end, if the Max returns by the end of summer. Another rumor is there may be 4 pilots in the box during the 2 hour event, not just 2.
