In Mesa's infinite wisdom, then haven't been looking ahead and have no sim time available. With the CRJ sims so high in demand, it's tough to find any slots. They've lately resorted to creating a new FAA approved 700 course so they can train pilots in the 700 sims, rather than relying on the traditional 200 course. You can be hired, go through ground, then wait 6 months for the sim.
