This is my personal opinion...
All of the Simulator providers pricings are outrageous but probably FSI more so.
But CAE Dubai for me takes the cake for gouging prices when compared to other centre prices that I get, closely followed by FSI LGB and SAV.
I loath dealing with all of their marketing sales reps.
FSI to me seems particularly bad at competitive pricing probably because they are owned by BH and they have a captive market in training their sister company crew NJ and so are not interested in small operators.
It's a mad world when the hourly rate of a simulator approaches or exceeds the hourly running cost of flying the real aircraft.
Roughly 22-25k USD for a 5 day recurrent
Call it 1000 per day for ground school, that's about 20-21k for 3 days in simulator at 3x2!hour PF handling sessions.
That's about 3.5k per hour. Yes you do get 6 hours of PNF if you are paired up.
Like everything in aviation these days - powerless in the madness
