Absolutely they can. It’s spot training and seat specific. Until the MV and LOE. Must have a qualified seat filler. Happens all the time. Ca/ca usually breeze through in the footprint. Fo/fo esp new 121 guys will end up w 15 sim usually. It’s about the Training. At AA I went through w a Fo new to 121.

For starters they should pair up captains in the sims if they’re so short captains on the line. Double the output of captains that way until staffing is a little more equal.

This stuff is what’s mind blowing to me. I somewhat understand waiting to start sims but once someone starts they should go straight through with only required days off. No idea how they expect people to excel in training when it’s so broken up. Never heard of a company making people go a week or more between sim sessions.

You can pair up two CA or FO trainees in the sim. You're only evaluated on the stuff you're supposed to know.

From what I was told by a buddy that was FO/FO in June, the FAA has stopped allowing FO/FO checkrides here. He and his partner got split up last min for LOE.
