                                  Thanks a lot guys ! … some who posted here very well know the hard road it was to get this far !

                                  I remember when i went for the selection exams (France) and i looked around me and saw all those guys with at least 1000 hours more than me … me with my actual 300 hours felt very … out of place.

                                  We had different kinds of exams, and simulator assessment was the toughest one. I was very surprised when they wrote on my report that despite my lack of experience i was very calm … i can only think about how well BMS helped me in that regard. Of course real life training in Canada was big part of it.

                                  It’s all only a game maybe …but somehow …after trying to play seriously, i somehow developed some attitude while flying.

                                  I am not ashamed to say that once i left the Airline Office …and when i was well out of sight of anyone, i just broke down in tears … it was just an awesome feeling to study hard and get rewarded for it. But, i am very very fortunate … now it becomes harder and harder to get hired with 300 hours Total time and to get the whole Type rating, housing, food and line training paid by the airline … and you don’t have to pay it back. I am very thankful for that.

                                    Yep, as the rule today is “pay to fly”, you did a nice job.
                                    Congratulations Spooky and have nice flights 😉 (caution with right main gear, though)

                                      Believe my words, if it was just a game then these gentlemen below wouldn’t play in '42 within a war… “It has to be something bigger than that”… 😉

                                        @ Hudlx … will do sir ! :), yes pay to fly is killing the market …. i am glad Air Côte D’ivoire rejected that option.

                                        @ Raptor, for now Air Côte D’ivoire is strengthening it’s sub-regional network and domestic network. 18 sub-regional destinations with A-319’s ,320’s, and Dash 8 Q400. Domestic network with the Dash 8 Q400. By 2016 they will have 4x Dash8 …i get to fly the brand new one out of the Bombardier Factory !!!

                                        But in a not so far future …Air Côte D’ivoire will go beyond Africa … New-York - Paris and Dubaï. There are already Emirates flights (A330) coming into Abidjan. The Airport has now been certified for direct flights from the US to Abidjan. And we also get the Air France A-380 coming in.

                                        So maybe one day we will get in Greece :)!

                                        It is more than just a game … that is for sure.

                                          It’s all only a game maybe …but somehow …after trying to play seriously, i somehow developed some attitude while flying.

                                          As with racing sims (most f1 teams build their own rigs these days, and they’re also common in the “lower echelons” of motorsports), the immersion really can help you build good habits and get rid of bad ones. Like many here have said, it’s all in the “way you play” BMS, wether you take it seriously or just enjoy blowing up stuff on the range from time to time will really affect your behaviour in real life in similar situations.

                                          Storytime: A few years ago when I was travelling in a rental car to my former company’s manufacturing plant in northeastern Germany, I hit what must have been a freezing patch or an oil spill when taking the highway exit (those are usually tight right turns here in Germany). I wasn’t going very fast (maybe 60-70km/h), but more or less instantly would have lost the rear end of the car if I hadn’t made a lightning quick correction on the steering, setting the vehicle straight again and being on my merry way.

                                          Only once the adrenalin had subsided in my system I realized that I’d just had a really close shave totalling or at least badly damaging the car, but hours and hours in rfactor and rfactor2 (best racing sim out there) had somehow prepared me mentally for just such a mishap.

                                          It felt really weird and the workmate I was travelling with was quite impressed, too, but it goes to show that sims really do help prepare you for the unexpected.

                                          Again, clear skies & happy flying! Keep us updated on your progress and make sure to take lots of photos 😉

                                            Wie geht es dir ? (how are you?) 🙂

                                            I used to live for a couple for years in Germany, in Hessen (Darmstadt/ Frankfurt am Main), and i do miss Germany a lot … truly beautiful country, i also went to school in Germany in a German school.

                                            Good story mate, i can only agree with you on the way simulation can prepare you for some situations.

                                            I will for sure post some pictures …especially the ones when we fly around CB’s going up to 30 000 feet !! … we are spot on the ITC, inter tropical convergence zone… so we get clash of the titans weather version down here. And the sunsets are impressive … i just can’t wait to land in Nigeria or Burkina Faso …or Mali !!!
