Totally agree on this subject. Can you see some of our sim instructors (SD or MH ) out in Subic on a dark and stormy night after flying around the pacific on a 10 day trip? Most of these instructors have 'nt been west of the mississippi in a long time. MEM-ATL or MEM-MIA or FLA is about it.
I was going to apply for the job but with only 8 to 10 years left I don't want to spend a year just to check out in the sim. There is a certain rhythm to running the sim and a certain rhythm to giving IOE. Hope it works for those that give it a try..................................
