If the new hires are 1,000 hour R-ATP University grads, one thing that demographic excels at is ingesting and regurgitating information.
The probably is that sometimes that process is distinctly different from digesting and applying, but that’s a whole other conversation.

Yet the University of North Dakota, who’s notorious for producing pilots who pass regional training with ease, most who eventually move on to the majors fairly quickly, failed out of the Sun country training program at embarrassingly high rates.
These Sim instructors will have no idea how to handle these amateur hours, literally, that’ll be coming their way.
You can say, “oh they’ll adjust”, but by the time they figure out how to turn these kids from CFI’s to 737, A320 ATP’s it’ll be too late, and the money that will be wasted on this experiment…. Yikes. Just ask Sunny, they decided it’s cheaper just to pay their own pilots instead so they can go back to picking off the regional pilots.
