If JQ intends to send its cadets bushbashing it is acceptable, if most of their flying is sim time it is not. Simple. Airmanship cannot be learnt in a sim, pilots have to frighten the sh%t out of themselves on more than one occasion, during their training, to become good pilots, if for no other reason to see for themselves how they handle a dicey situation. A sim does not put you into hospital or even worse into a box if you fail, perhaps you might think this is old school, and perhaps it is, but a aeroplane is still a aeroplane no matter how many bells and whistles, and if you want good pilots, (not systems managers) then they must do the hard yards for all concerned.
