That is not exactly correct. Current profile at a major flight training vendor for initial type training on a large cabin, international airplane is at least 2-3 IPT sessions followed by at least 6 sim sessions. A LOFT is sometimes flown before the checkride for additional reps in the sim (depends on training manual for Part 135 operators and customer request for Part 91). In addition, 1 or 2 sessions can be added prior to the checkride in the event a student is struggling. This profile is roughly the same across the spectrum of business jets trained by that vendor. I can't speak to the profiles on large airline equipment.
