So What percentage of the course is simulation?? I do agree that simulators are very good these days, you can do all your emergenies drills, Navigation IF extra practice. But, I think nothing can replace real time flying learning environment.
I'm quite surprised actually that Flybe have schemes still going!, since they are going to put quite a few Dash 8's and E195 away for the latter part of this year into the winter next year. I know a guy who just graduated from FTE, he has been told to expect a 9-18 month wait until he gets to do his type rating! Just hope the economic situation improves
Anyway Good Luck to all, Safe Flying!
