Who knows but know that our training program is not set up for 1500 or 2000 hr pilots. Failure rates are on the rise, you dont want a 121 washout this early in your career. Spirit gives 4 sims before type, Frontier gives 12 for comparison.

Spirit is my 5th rodeo.
The training program here is absolutely the worst I've ever experienced, and I've worked for some extremely crappy outfits. Even Suddern Air's organic training was far superior, not even mentioning the Boeing training I went through transitioning to the 400.
It is absolutely bare bones minimum, just barely enough to satisfy the FAA and not a penny more.
We had people struggling to get through when the mins were 4000 hours and 500 PIC. And Pink Slips have sharply increased since we dropped our mins.
However, that being said, mark yourself a scab and apparently you'll get ALL the time in the world to get through training.
