Anotherday, an interesting comment, and agreed, there of course is a financial element to everything. Agreed. I guess we need to keep in mind KA has and will continue to charge a premium over mainland carriers as they are perceived to be safer, and in fact we have a lot of premium customers who believe it and pay the premium because of it. The company has a responsibility after creating that perception to at least direct some of that extra income to training and training assets don't you think? We see the opposite.
The FMGC training equipment we have is run by windows 95. Rather than update it, they have decommissioned it. Sad but true. 500 pilots and we share 2 QRHs to study from. We clearly aren't "overspending" on training assets.
