Narrative:

I was scheduled to complete the one day training event for the X type aircraft as a result of downgrade due to planned furloughs. I was previously an X type aircraft captain. However; between my last flight as an X type aircraft captain and being assigned this training; I completed the Y and Z type aircraft qualification course as I was awarded a bid to Y and Z type aircraft captain prior to the planned downsizing. I was bumped from that position prior to IOE but after the completion of the course (I was home awaiting an IOE trip). My final position was X type aircraft first officer after the bump bids. I asked multiple different sources and all seemed to agree that my situation would dictate at least a multi-day re-qualification course. I was surprised when I was scheduled for the 1 day class; landings event. Yes; I have XXXX hours in the first officer seat of the aircraft but my last experience was X years ago. Yes; I was a captain on it for a year but again; I last flew the aircraft 6 months ago and had an entire course on a different airframe in the interim. When I asked about this I was told 'if you need more training just ask for it.' fortunately the simulator broke and we were unable to complete the enhanced items so I will need to go back for another sim period. I'm going to be blunt and tell you there is no way I should have had one period; let alone one period where I get 2 hours to relearn everything and have to share it with another student. In my particular case I should have had the entire X hour period to myself or been scheduled for a multi-day day re-qualification event. Had I gone on a different aircraft IOE and activated that bid would I have been scheduled differently? If the answer is yes; then brake release on IOE needs to be re-evaluated as the line. If the answer is no then the entire thought process behind this needs some serious examination. The course would have been fine if I had been coming directly and untainted from the left seat.
