Shaka Zulu,
Couldn't agree more with you. Everyone preparing for their sim has the impression that BA are solely concerned with flying the 74 perfectly.
Thankfully i had some useful info given to me from a friend within the company that CRM, Leadership and Decision- making skills are the key. Hence i didn't waste alot of money on the sim, yet still got through.
For those who are preparing for sim:
Yes, practise as much raw data flying as you feel comfortable with ( i was on the bus and fying track/ fpa and manual thrust did help) I got flight sim for my pc and worked continually on the pitch/ power settings that BA gave me. It works!!
But more importantly think about how you will lead the flight as handling pilot ( especially if you have a ' bomb on board threat' etc in cruise), using ALL resources available to you. This will be the key to passing the sim.
