A300's
Yip. That little dickie bird did talk a bit of BS or did not have his facts together.
Air Scandic has what is called a A300B4-200 FFCC. FFCC stands for Forward Facing Crew Cockpit. This particular version does not have a flight engineer ie carries only 2 pilots.
You where right though that CAA had given hard time regarding the certification of the Jakarta Sim (Yes there is a sim for this model). Apparently there has been some question about the serviceability of the machine and Garuda does not want to pay for the upgrades and such.
Training has now been arranged with alternative (CAA approved) arrangements. If these isues can be settled the bigbus wil continue to soldier on, unless economical considerations become an issue. There has been talk about other types. Time will tell.
Cheers
