Sorry to disappoint you yo-dag but have never had any of the problems of low standards that you allude to, and have never had to make the excuses you refer to, but thanks anyway for your kind assessment of my abilities. Judging from your references to upgrade sims, I take it you're are newly upgraded, so I'm sure you'll make a great instructor in 6 months time when you have your 500 hours command time....., I look forward to your wise advise, and interesting anicdotes on professional conduct when you check me next....NOT
In the mean time we all agree the sim Should be a great tool for training, but unfortunately its rarely utilised to the the extent that it should be, and for the purpose for which it was designed.
