I think we're working with different definitions of training. The
first officer, especially in the beginning, is still learning the
job. And training how to do the captain's job takes place largely in
the right seat.

But he is not learning to fly, not even the aircraft in question. His
"training" is company procedures and policies.

The number of hours spent is the simulator is dwarfed by the time
spent learning while working in the right seat.

More specifically, the number of hours spent in the simulator is dwarfed by
the time spent in the right seat. However, the simulator time is pure
training. The right-seat time is just work, and getting used to aspects of
the job unrelated to flight per se.
