The rumour about the Sim training is essentially true. So pack your bags for a month or so in some exotic locale guys.
The other rumour about the second sim that will be required for the A330, is that there is no bay that can take it in Sydney, and it will probably be located in Melbourne. Which makes the exercise of moving the current sim from Mel to Syd at the start of this year seem all the more like an appalling lack of foresight.
