I know he will need real airplane time which is why i said instruct as much as you can and do the sim thing when your not flying. When I was working at FSI I applied to ASA and for my initial phone interview all they kept asking about was glass cockpit experience, CRM, FMS experience and jet system knowledge. All they cared about with reguards to aircraft time was that I had the mins at the time.
