enjoy the training in DXB. It will be the 850XPi simulator, no big difference to the 900XP. Make sure that you receive the difference training (if not- pm me, I could send the file). Don't accept that old Honeywell-equipped sim there, if it still exists. Great people there, a lot of knowledge, especially since we know that some ground school teachers don't have any experience on type.
"low fuel sucks" is a good reminder, indeed.
Gread aircraft, very reliable, no big problems at all. As long as you are able to close the door- you will probably never exceed MTOW :-)
