We are doing classroom training on our iPads so the logical next step is to get a 4 iPad array along with your 80 inch Samsung and do it all at home in the rocker recliner. Training is soooo last century.

And then when something really bad happens, pilot error will be the culprit (instead of crappy training) and there will be a big push to to remove pilots from cockpits.

Hopefully we go back to training flights to Huntsville for bounces.

They’ll send all pilots the Microsoft HoloLens 2 once the market is more saturated and the prices come down. All future sim training will be done at home via augmented/virtual reality and verified online. No PC needed, HoloLens is a self contained unit.

Don't joke about that.....a great majority of airlines overseas do all their training in uniforms, both classroom and sim training. The instructors as well.

Yup. Emirates definitely and some of the sims at Cathay for upgrading CAs in full uniform.
