What's nice is they put the ATL guys in the 90 sim for recurrent, that sim is niiiiice. But I must say the crew resources emailers are fascinating to read.
I'm in the same boat. Approaching 30 days with no actual stick time on reserve. Can't wait to make an idiot out of myself when I go back in. On the plus side, my lawn looks awesome and my car looks even better!
I would agree that the 90 sim is awesome.. when it works. Did CQ last month and day one (D period) took 6 hours with 5 full-scale sim crashes before we called it quits. Funny thing was the DGS guy said' "This used to be the best sim we had until we started using it all the time.". I now have a love/hate relationship with the thing versus the hate/hate relationship I developed with #5 during initial. Progress I suppose.
