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

Surely is nice to finally see the company admit we need our pilots back like yesterday. We all knew this was going to happen, you could have predicted this a mile away. And that accounts for even a moderate rebound in travel and we pretty much have to hire. If we have a full rebound.... Well.... Then it will sure be crazy times. Lots of green slips I reckon.

Especially those who won't need a full course and going back to their old fleets.
I went back and found my NH training award, I had multiple E period sims on it.

I have zero contractural reference for any of that, just how it was explained to us in my dept

Assigned piltots can be sent to E's, so long as they are out of the building by 1 am. Which essentially limits them to a two hour sim. The requal sim syllabuses have been revamped to allow for this, essentially doubles the length of the course--same total time in sim.
