At least 2 -88 sims are still up and running. They’re being used by some company running an ATP course.

I think USAJet uses some 88 sim time too. They’re going to be flying some of our retired Dawgs.

Difficult but not impossible...as long as they don't mess up the timing by trying to pinch too many short term pennies.

Don’t forget there is offsite sim availability also

I heard some 88/90 cockpits are going to the movie industry.

But then they wouldn’t be impersonating real aviators if they did.

Is every airline in the world going to soon be competing to use those sims?

.

the two biggest hiring years since the 2014 hiring began were 2016 with 1,197 new hires, and 2017 with 1,060 new hires. I don't think they had the 6th E period sim back then.

So with E period sims now avail, I guess 1,200+ is technically doable.
