It will take a little longer than that. 121.439 requires three takeoffs and landings to maintain currency, not just landings. And to regain currency once you expire, requires a V1 cut, ILS to minimums, and a full stop landing. More details in the reg if you are interested.

what continental express did on the cheap won't be repeated again. Remember the Beaumont training crash?
Our simulator instructors aren't cross-qualified as PIC's. They are SIC's. Also, when someone goes under the hood, we need safety pilots. It's allot of liability and likely the instructor council for ALPA would freak-out. This would be beyond their scope of work in the cba. Then you gotta get the FAA to sign off on it. Lots of risk, and liability. Some risk analysis six sigma folks would need to study this. What went down at COEX wasn't cool. Maybe OK for a 135 non sked operator.

Really??? At a time when we’re trying to protect cash, you think that they’ll take an airplane that is parked and go blow $100 bills out of the back of the engines? A sim is vastly more inexpensive and I seriously doubt that the L/D curves ever intersect regarding this.

When CQ turns back on in May there will be plenty of pilots in every fleet coming out every two days legal for another 3 months. What they need to do is end all QUAL training and ONLY run CQ.
just on the 787 alone they could have 225 crews ready to go for another three months by the end of May. They could 375 crews on the 756 if you get rid of the 764 touch.

This is NOT the case with the U2 pilots!
Why? We all know the U2 is cool.
U-2 spy plane landing at Beale AFB U2 raw video
I never landed the U2, but I have landed the Guppy enough times to decline any voluntary extension of my lapsed landings for free...
