We went on the 9 month cycle after a near catastrophe at SFO where one of our -400s had an engine problem on departure and almost became a fireball atop Mt San Bruno. One of the resulting changes was a shorter cycle through the sim for V1 cuts, etc.
Didn't matter if you were a narrowbody guy flying 4 legs a day, everyone went on the 9 month cycle. Although we have to go to "the building" more often, the pace is slower than it was when we just went annually for a PC as they don't have to cram as much in per day.
We'll see if Jefferey can convince the POI that once every 12 months is enough. May depend on which POI becomes the MFWIC after combined Ops start.
