New Qantas Sim Building
Heard today the company have been forced into building a new simulator building because of a new roading project into the domestic terminal impacting the current structure. Construction to begin later this year to be ready by 2021.
This will be a significant investment. How will the training department handle the downtime whilst the simulators are being dismantled, moved, reassembled and calibrated?

It’s another reason why the 747 is finished, they won’t want to move a sim for 6 aircraft and a short time.

Hmmmm which Asian country do they already use for the 787? Pretty sure there’s 737 sims to...
You forgot to ask who’s paying?
my understanding is that the road project is so essential that the cost to Qantas for replacement of the Simulator/Emergency Procedures Centre, & the Catering Centre is only 15% of the total cost. The NSW Taxpayers are bearing most of the cost.

It's not as if moving the sim building has come out of the blue. It was probably first pencilled in 1993. And Alan's been all over it, having only replaced the dunny rolls in the sim building during his tenure. Apparently there is some cheap land at Dixon fields out past Penrith. Perfect location for a new training centre. And considering how well the setup in Toowomba has gone, perhaps the same stream leaders can be involved there.
So where will.it actually be?
I had heard a rumour (long ago) it was to be in Alexandria somewhere

New building and environs and other upgrades and still the hordes aren't happy. Is it something in the Oz psyche that makes for the emphasis on the negative of everything??
Nah just upgrading the ‘flight experience’ sims, finish base check and do a session with the punters.
All part of the next gen EBA...
Of course prior ‘flight experience’ instructors will be CSAA approved.

Was also told that the catering building will be demolished as part of the project.

Maybe it would pay for some to discover what the world outside their little bubble is like and that things aren’t that bad where they are?
Adjacent king st, beside the powerplant, the cage or the western side of the catering building? Carparks abound!
