Even doing 3 turns a day the conditions rarely allowed you do all 3 in the same day... with checkouts averaging 3 days. Recently they added a night landing as a requirement. Same procedures were required to be done in the sim within 3 months prior to checkout plus balked landings for both runways. Obviously with the limited lifespan of the Q's at RAH they aren't going to waste the money training any new people to do this... especially considering they aren't typed.

Lynx started flying in Dec and flew the first flight to ASE in April... so everyone had the hourly requirement before it happened.
