World Flight Australia, Team 737 (Hobart) Promo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsJZ0L6dOI4#normal)
Cool video Trevor. Wish I could participate, I'd love to fly for more than two hours at a stretch, get the WX briefing, flight planning, etc.
Mike, there is nothing like it.. You want real this entire week is all about real. Pilot Briefings, Emergency Procedures, planning.. you name it it is incredible.
Trev
As I stated in another post Mike, Trev is right. As one of the main team representatives of course we got a few other cool benefits other pilots who joined us didn't such as the as the flight together in formation with a barrel roll under Sydney bridge or takeing off usually first :) ,getting ATC priority and of course having all the actuall Jeppessen map package , provided by jeppessen personally in full color. It truly as Trev said an experience like no other. We ate real Airline food catered to us everyday by the actual airline food provider Cara free of charge, we all wore official Air Canada uniforms and rank donated by them. Actual weather reports, real ATC worldwide, actual schedules it was honestly like being an actual airline pilot.Interviewed by local media TV was pretty cool, But it is a heck of alot of work. takes almost 6 mos or more just to plan for those 6 days :) Your sim really needs to be 100% to take on that 6 day pounding. also recommended you have a backup comp with all the programs, 2 backup I/O boards and anything else backup you could use. Cause trust me Murphy definitely hangs around at WF lol But all of you should at least fly with th guys its a blast!
