It shows. I’ve had a few FOs expecting to get the upgrade this bid. They are going to have a really hard time getting through the training. Now, they may not want to do it, but I really hope they speak up and not tarnish their FAA record because this airline is mismanaged. If you’re not ready, you’re not ready. If it’s a type ride, and you don’t feel in the zone or ready? DONT DO THE RIDE! I’ve learned that the hard way.

“Well there’s many ways to do it. Don’t worry about it now, you’ll learn what method you like on the line.”
...which leads me to believe most of the sim instructors themselves don’t even know how to do it.

Although he should take initiative and study on his own. I had plenty of instructors in the sim center that gave the STANDARD response when I asked how to calculate fuel in holds many of times over:

Hopefully there will be enough gaps in these guys knowledge they won't make it through the upgrade. There are plenty of guys that don't even know that they don't know. They are usually the ones that think they have the right to be a captain and shouldn't even have to wait for the 1000hrs.
