Magicmick,
Thanks! I am eagerly awaiting the start of my training and prepping up by reading some material. It seems to be not that easy of an aircraft to fly, in particular due to the high approach speeds (no leading edge slats, unlike the -700) but I will do my best to be the best
Stalker, there must be something fishy. The other prices were actually more than 3 times what PanAm quotes. I just don't see how they can provide he same product for 1/3 the price.
This must be part of the reason why an obscure place in France is certified by Russia and PanAm isn't. Russian airlines also don't like throwing money out the window. If it was the same product, I am sure the airlines would do some serious lobbying to get their program approved by the Russian CAA.
