I too wanted to fly it after I did two sessions on the sim during sélection for SR.. Hardest bit of flying in my career and all raw data including duck and dive with stepped level offs using VORs with outboard engine out (and varying cross winds). Teamed up with an AirFrance 737 pilot for the first day who crashed in the second session and didn’t get the job. Large trim changes needed with every power change.
Missed out by one place to a Dutch man in its dying days of doing first class round the world tours. The Dutch man was found floating in a canal in Amsterdam a few years later allegedly murdered by the Yugoslav mafia.
Win some loose some.
