They were all trained using the piston sim at Oxford Aviation with a handmade cardboard ASI scale with higher speeds handwritten on and 200 knots of wind up the arse.
Are you joking?
If that is true it is absolutely rediculous.
Someone should recreate that and photograph it and post it beside a picture of a real sim in order to give Jo-public an idea of how insane things have become. Just that one visual image depicting how Micky Mouse this is would sway 90% of the travelling public I reckon.
I think if I was asked to train on that I would have to turn and walk out as it would be too embarrassing to be associated with an airline that accepts that as training.
Disregard if it was a joke.
