Theyr'e the facts Global. But as long as all those unemployed Sim techs and aviation support people wandering around Bundy are looked after. Yep great for regional oz
Fact is Bundy is not the boondocks.
Aussie companies have sent pilots to China for recurrent, Singapore for recurrent, Miami for initials, the list goes on. Corporate jet companies fly pilots to USA, UAE, for recurrents.
Nope Bundy ain’t the Boonies. Yes point taken it’s not a capital city and it will add 2 days travel, far from ideal, however everyone using the sims will have the same expenses.
Anything to revive rural Aus has to be a great thing. Don’t like it don’t use the sims, you have choices, ahh what? The next sim is in the states which takes xyz days……..
Not havin a dig at ya mate, yes I do understand where you are coming from, just don’t think it’s as bad as you say.
Hopefully the Maroochy one stays as well.
