I think you will find that Saudi has their own Embraer sim.
I didn't know that.
Good to hear that they found buyers for the A340's. From an emotional standpoint, it is sad to see the 4-holers go but I guess it is necessary in the end- more of a liability than an asset in terms of costs and service product (yucky 1st and Business Class). Anybody know when they will be making their way across the Atlantic?
