Get use to it. Same thing they're were doing 40 years ago. Hold the line.

Check your emails. I am thoroughly impressed by the new Done By One Initiative. I believe it will turn out to be a much more efficient and productive way to train pilots

This has zero to do with quality and 100% to do with throughput

More sim sessions in IQ footprint, no additional periods in a day, shorter periods, stage check fails don’t count towards the 6 retrain days… where are you seeing the extra throughput?
I intrinsically harbor skepticism too, but I saved that purely for the commitment for no FO/FO combinations.

I'm getting it from every communication I ever received on the topic....before this one. Which pointed out that done by one would increase sim capacity by 15 ish percent. Each department is increasing (or trying to) instructor manning to cover the additional events
Currently Es can only be filled by new hires and west coast based folks for CQ. Which leaves many empty slots.
ITs called "done by one"....to allow five full periods per day that comply with PWA.
Nothing whatsoever to do with quality, it's all quantity
For clarity, I don't think it's the end of the world, but the email is utterly disingenuous
