Cheap flight sim alternative

Hi all, I'm looking for a cheap flight sim alternative to MSFS or X-planes. I don't need loads of visual scenery or performance. Just something to mess around with descent profiles and working the MCP panel with the FMC and getting used to boeing logic. I have a 2015 macbook pro and a 5th gen ipad. ...

2500 hours, ATPL, 1500 turbine, but no multi, really.

I’ve never had an answer from an email…. Can anyone shed some light?
Why don't you just apply? You'll have your answer

They range from 1-5 days, with the vast majority 3 days or less.

Re: Backpain

The 737 has notoriously bad seats. There are various adjustments you can get out of the seat but the padding is firm foam and the sheepskin doesn't do much for comfort. When I first started flying the 37 a couple years ago I had back problems too. Especially the lower back and migrating to the mid b...

Re: New pay scales

I agree that FO pay should be 100K to start. That puts it at roughly 2/3 of first year captain pay which I think is fair given the responsibilities and requirements of the job. AC first year pay should double but I doubt we will see that. Agreed on both, pay needs to come up commensurate with exper...

I don't mind the north. Made a pretty good career in the arctic and abouts but it didn't give me the lifestyle that I long for now. Also didn't pay enough.

The twin will always have its place in aviation. There's a reason you still see single otters and caravans at the same operator.

That's what I did with Pacific region. Worked out pretty slick. From the time I sent in the application to payment processed was 22 days. Getting the sticker in the mail was another 7 days.
