That was, surprisingly, a well written article.

Well with two sims running in 64bit at the moment I don't know what they think MSFS will do to change things, unless they think XBOX users will put the controller down and take flying lessons😁.

Surprisingly well written article, but then googling on who is the one who wrote it explains also why.

Can Microsoft Flight Simulator's 2020 reboot solve the pilot shortage?

“Ever since we showed our trailer we've been called by almost every airplane manufacturer and they all tell us there's a pilot crisis, but for us it's about priority-setting. We're excited about making a sim, and if we can help with the pilot crisis in some shape or form -- we'll try when the time is right".“

This here...Boeing could program its suite of aircraft with its already existing simulator base and expertise in a week or so. Why not invest in making your planes accessible? It’s good marketing, it gets people interested, and it helps your brand!

God knows they could use some PR after their handling of the Max.

Good read.

Nice to see an article for the public about this... no two ways about it!

But there are so many terrible inaccuracies that most anyone here can pick them out... man, the reporting by all US news organizations is so bad these days that I don't believe anything that ANY of them have to say.

Fox news reporting on military general interest matters has been so bad that the term SHAM comes to mind.  I've written to them every single time such an article comes out, pointing out the many errors the pieces contain.  Love them putting Air Force jet photos for articles about Navy aviation and vice versa.  I do note however that they have improved as of late, but it should also be said that they had no where to go but up.

Johnny, I merged your topic to an existing topic on the same article in case you were wondering where your topic went.
