Although I am curious as to why candidates are tested on the 747 Sim rather than the Dash 8!
They explained that one to us at the Qlink roadshow last year.
They want a "level playing field" for the sim rides, and the best way they could do that was to do it in a sim that no-one would be able to afford to buy a "pre interview" sim ride. (For example, it is common practice before a REX interview to buy a sim-ride in the Metro for around $600.00).
Up until recently the sim rides were done in the 767, but that has become overbooked and now is in the 747.
DIVOSH!
