FROM BA INTRANET
The sale, which runs throughout the summer until September 30, offers savings of up to 50 per cent and provides ideal gifts for Father’s Day.
Aspiring pilots can hone their skills on a Boeing 737 simulator from just £200 per hour, down from £399, and fly a simulated jumbo jet or Boeing 777 from just £299, down from £449 per hour session. All sessions are taught by professional British Airways pilots.
Direct bookings and vouchers can be made on Flight Training at British Airways from Friday.
BA has 15 full flight simulators covering both Airbus and Boeing aircraft types. The £10 million, full motion flight simulators are used to train BA’s 3,200 pilots, as well as flight crew from 50 other airlines.

The Airbus sims very rarely have any spare slots to sell due to continuous type rating and recurrent training.
The 777/747 and 737 have less type training at the moment, so seems sensible to sell the spare slots.

Tandemrotor,
Many thanks for highlighting this. Going to give the 734 sim a shot as a treat for my 30th with a friend (might help the misery of leaving my twenties) now that it is somewhat more affordable. Intending to show the pro's how its done
