It's plenty.
I was referring to just classroom time, not SITs. Sounds like it’s still the same.

The 767 program has all the same CBT’s, but then about 2 weeks of classroom systems training as well. The 747 program was designed and approved when the vast majority of pilots coming in the door were current/qualified in the 747 or at least a ton of time in widebodies already. It never evolved from there as experience levels plummeted. They just tack on additional sims/class at the end of training when there’s a specific problem to address. For instance…It was only a few years ago they added a 4 hour session with nothing but landings after your type ride…and that was only because of, as I recall, about $12mil in damage done in about a year from hard landings. Half of that was on a single -8 in, I believe, Quito.
