Warmup is an optional event if 30 days passes between 44X and starting OE. It sounds like it’s often in the procedures trainer, so no re-hack of landing currency.
The extension from 120 to 150 CAN be done with simulator training or an LCA flight check, but if OE completion occurs more than 60 days after 44X, the extension is automatic (seems like they’re dual-purposing your LCA for this purpose on your final OE leg).
If you miss consolation, the 3- or 4-sim SRQ requal syllabus establishes a new 44X event from which you again have 120 days to attain 100 consolation hours. Luckily, this time there is no OE, so no extra pilot to reduce OE hours on 3-pilot operations (that become 4-pilot during OE).
