We're doing a bit of work in Edmonton around simulator training. We have two simulators on site. They're the only ones of their kind in North America: one for helicopters and one for 737s. There are some advantages to simulators: you can practise things in the simulator that you can't practise in the air. By the same token, hands-on training in the aircraft is not something that's going to be replaced by simulator training. Simulator training should be used to enhance what is learned in the cockpit, but you can't remove it.
