That's the truth, isn't it? Or, "tru dat" for you Memphians.
And, I think we could get an entire fleet of cubs for the cost of one simulator. The only problem is...It would be a new aircraft and I'm not sure the company would be willing to pay narrow body pay for it. Of course, we'd still have guys climbing over each other to be an LCA/FLEX on it, without a pay scale, just to get into those cushy jobs in the training dept.
