Devils Advocate
You know I like to do this so bear with me.
Is it possible that those ex-members who say it is a ridiculous idea are viewing this through the lenses of how it was in their day?
I agree that the idea of being current in LL, all weather strike in Western Europe is not something you could imagine doing on 50 hours a year. But we don’t do that any more. And we don’t need to.
I’m not saying I love the idea of spending my time in a simulator either but I’m open minded enough to realise that technology and roles have moved on enough that it is potentially feasible.
