May 15, 200323 yr United airlines used to have a Pilot for the day program. Run out of the Denver hub, there were 3 tiers to the levels and expense for various sim time, and various aircraft. Any chance, anyone know if that will ever be be available with United or any other carrier ?
May 16, 200323 yr Realistically, the 19 mass murderers who were "pilots for a day" on 11 Sep 01 pretty much killed the future of these kinds of programs. It'd be a PR disaster for someone to put a picture of Mohammed Al-Jihad on the news leaving his sim session at United with a big smile on his face. Who would want to explain that one to the CEO?Bob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
May 16, 200323 yr Bob, A real pilot on the board, always appreciated. I simply love the Gulfstream aircraft. The company I used to work for had the G IV and G V....on great occasion I had the chance to be passenger. Never did, though schedule conflicts....very jealous you fly these for a living ;) ...I write code and make PLC's work...boring, another engineer and I are taking lessons and plan on escaping to fly turbo-amphibians for Kenmore Air....someday
