About the instructor:

He has a passion for aviation, and has had the privilege and unique opportunity of taking one-on-one simulator flight lessons from a current Boeing 747 airline pilot. Through this course, he would like to share this knowledge with everyone who is interested in aviation.
So charging HK$1,500 for a class (NOT one on one) in a simulator he is flying as expect there will be too many students to all have a go flying it. His only qualification to give this course is he knows a CX747 pilot who has given him a few lessons. This guy does not seem qualified to be offering a course about anything to do with aviation, to me it sounds like he is trying to make a fast buck exploiting starry eyed cadet hopefuls.

Give me HK$1,500 and I will spend two hours with you, one on one. I at least have a pilots license, am a qualified instructor and actually work for a major asian airline, not just know some guy who does.
