Thanks for the info - I guess things have changed since I got my wings after nearly 300 hours of 'live' flying. No simulators with enough fidelity then, so it all had do be done in the air - not a bad thing as I learned a lot of airmanship in those early days which I don't believe can be gained in the sim. That's another argument though...
Whatever, good luck to these guys, they have earned what they've got and without doubt have a difficult and demanding job.
