McD,. .. .No, I don't, but some people here tend to skim through a post and then launch in with all guns firing without understanding what is being said (as has been pointed out before).. .. .If your airline really does cover all of this, then well done!! However, I've never seen one which does, and believe it would be extremely difficult to write a syllabus which covered all the appropriate bits and pieces.. .. .I'm very glad you enjoy your airline's training.. .. .The danger in these difficult times is that some of that training might be cut when the accountants look at the balance sheet and compare it to your competitors.

I don't believe the simulator is an effective 'testing' tool, when used as such. This is why so many good pilots fail simulator 'assessments' when seeking employment, and so many poor ones get through.
