Not disbelieving your sources for a second haughtney but I heard the exact same b******t a decade ago, in as many words, from the mouth of the so called super well connected management at Flightline.
No worries Luke

To be honest I was a rather skeptical given that I remember similar things coming out of Massey, Flightline, and AFS all those years ago.
It just so happens that I very recently shared a sim revalidation (and a few beers) with the head of training from CTC..so we will see
He was adamant that this is happening, happy though to be proved wrong as it would have stuffed my ambitions all those years ago
