Hear hear Balix,
About time we got back into Fam flights and Pilots visits.
I was lucky a few years ago to go to Cranebank and sit in the simulator for several hours with a crew whilst they did there 6 monthly check. I did the ATC RT for them and observed as they went through numerous emergency drills. It was possibly the best emergency training I could have experienced.
I am hoping to set up simulator runs at Cardiff for locally based airline crews this year and I know other units do it as well. The more we understand each others jobs the better for us all.
