Yes, because I'd rather be two years in this career as an FO on reserve pay and 1200 hours, than a captain with captain pay 1000 SIC and 1000PIC time... I'm sure that the 1200 hour FO will look better to a Major because he has allowed himself to suffer for two years on reserve and low pay but showed loyalty, than the captain with more experience and proved he would do what is needed to better himself.

I think the sim time on the back side of the clock is typically used for maintenance at most companies. Typically from 2 to 6 Am. Sometimes the briefing overlaps a bit

Delta does around the clock sims. It's the nature of the business.

On the Erj side, it's only done between 0230-0600 if both pilots agree. The only way they can do it involuntarily is if it's training after an unsat. In other words, not scheduled ahead of time. This is because usually the sim is already scheduled with regular training during normal hours.

That's not how they look at it. What was was the upgrade time when you got hired? "5 years". How long did you stay? "3 years". Why did you you quit? "Upgrade time was taking too long, brand x was 8 months". So you knew it was 5 years the day you took the job and you didn't stay there and wait for what you agreed to when you took the job? Our upgrade time is 15years do you plan on leaving in 3 if brand x is only 8 and they hire you? "No sir" Well you have already proven that you would.
If your response to why you left is "for the quick upgrade," and not along the lines of "to better/challenge myself through becoming a sim instructor, line check airman, getting into the safety department, etc.", then you deserve to not be hired.
