I was scheduled for the re-qualification X course. I requested a warm up sim and was denied by Person X going through my chief pilot office. Person X claims that warm up sims are a waste of time and don't improve an already high pass rate. Person X said training is designed to catch any lack of proficiency prior to the CQLOE [Continuing Qualification Line Operational Evaluation]; so a warm up sim isn't necessary as normal training will catch any lack of proficiency.I did the traditional re-qualification X course in month after being off the type X aircraft for X years. I only flew about 90 hours on the type X aircraft prior to the reduction of flying. I haven't flown since the middle of month. I thought requesting a warm up sim was reasonable considering my lack of recency/proficiency on the type X aircraft; and a new very short re-qualification course.The new re-qualification X course has several areas that aren't covered prior to the LOE [Line Operational Evaluation]. In the curriculum; it shows the initial 3 sims all start engines running on the runway. There is no practicing flows; FMS work on the ground; starting engines; or normal ground ops getting to the runway which are some of the most high risk areas. There is no time built into the curriculum to work on procedures for people that have [not] flown for 8-9 months and didn't have much recency.I feel the company is focused on pushing through as many people through as quickly as possible when the company let them lose currency. I don't feel that the new re-qualification X course is appropriate or safe for all pilots that can be trained under it. There should be other recency requirements for pilots to be trained under the new re-qualification X.
