In our experience ... YES! Fiance started his Mesaba training in Minneapolis for the first weeks of ground school. Then we went to Montreal for 4 weeks of sim training at Bombardier. Then, 2 days away from his check ride, he was sent home. He waited at home for TWO MONTHS before they called him to report to Denver to finish his sim training. B/c of the amount of time that had elapsed he had to re-take his oral (he was pissed b/c he'd already done the oral in Montreal). And b/c of all the time that had elapsed, he needed several days in the sim to freshen up before his check ride. That whole situation was c-r-a-p!
