arrowhead is 100% spot on. If you compare the syllabi of the US vs European TR's you will see a major difference in number of hours in the sim.On top of that there is the difference between a new level D sim vs the cheapest around: you get what you pay for.
If it was a ripp of as some people suggest then the operators of the sim should make a sh*t load of money. Well they don't....
So if you think that you compare apples with apples: go for the $8000 one!Why do you think that any cost concieus airline is not sending there crews there??
@lst. No reason to feel so sorry for yourselves because there are JAA approved TRTO's in all parts of the world. No protection there at all, that is all rubbish. If you want to train abroad the only thing te JAA (or FAA for that matter if you are a yank that wants totrain in Europe!!) wants is to approve the thing.
you just have to pay for it yourselves
