They are C5 employees, not Flight safety. Am I correct in that?

20 Hrs of GFS . Great !! Now, I can see how you can make it with less than 10 hours.
Thank you all for the information.

10/8/2016 MEC Update
CommutAir Pilots,
The company approached your MEC on shortening the bidding window for upgrade preferences to Tuesday, October 11 at 1800 EST. Your MEC approved this request since the company has been working feverishly on an improved staffing model that will allow us to match vacancy postings with our capabilities to train. As a result, the company posted our usual numbers (7 ERJ CPs, 2 ERJ FOs, and 10 DHC-8 CPs).
As far as the DHC-8 CP vacancies, the company needs to fill as many of these as possible. Based on current bids, it appears that many of those slots will go to upgradeable new hires from our October new hires who are in basic indoc. After looking at preferences, your MEC feels if we wait for the full 10-day timetable, those pilots would not be able to travel and get in position for their systems class. Please update your preferences by October 11, 1800 EST.
Feel free to contact your MEC with any questions.
Regards,

Thank you all for the information.
Thank you all for the information.
Its 10 sim sessions, 4 hours each.
40 hours in the sim, and FO's and CA's are paired together, so all you have to learn is your seat specific stuff.
It is more than enough.
