I know a guy who knows a guy (for real, though, no kidding) who took the job with CAE at Dothan. He started in January, and by Feb he was with students. He didn't even get a 'how to work the sim' spin-up. So, I can see how this could be true.

The horror. I am a former 64 driver myself and the proline 21 is about as easy as they come but hey, if thats what bothers you then OK. What bothers me is that you must be a former 64 driver where there are a bizzilion switch options in that cockpit yet you complain about teaching a proline 21 cockpit. You are making gun bunnies look weak.
Are you sure you werent a 60 pilot at some point???

You never had a valid point to begin with. Self-flattery is cheap. Since, I can’t reach through this screen and pat you on the head to make you feel better; you’ll have to work it out on your own with that self-aggrandizing cry for help stuff. If that’s a bridge too far, the local CVS might be running a special on vagisil...

I am guessing you got a couple of years in a 64 cockpit in the reserves/guard and now your screen name is "GunDriver64"? Probably also have a Firebirds cap you wear around town.
