theBOAT

dont want to turn this into a OneWorld discussion, but you know.......

BA's also got a flightsim for purchase http://www.ebaft.com/fly/fse.htm

and this is not limited to US Citizens only

i dont want to beat the dead horse....but whats the situation with the flight sim???!!!

donated but never flown the simulator

Start a conversation with Pizzaman. In the same boat as you, as are a few others.

Yup current in talks with the organizers

I just realized that my 03/2012-02/2013 is as Platinum and not a Diamond. I called the Hyatt GP number on my card and they confirmed I am a Platinum member. Has anyone else had this happen?

Just checked my account. Still shows up as Diamond.

Yup, me too. And the four upgrades have already been deposited.

My dumb luck! Will have to see if someone can help me get this resolved!

I’m Diamond again, as well.

Nope. Diamond again, with the suite upgrades. Everything appears to be right.

Ditto. Plus I received the 4 new suite upgrade certs to use as well. Sorry canucklehead!!

theBOAT

Ditto here. 4 new suite upgrades posted.

question, i havent hear from anyone with regards to Sim time..... what should i do?

legalalien had his rescheduled SIM time last week. I asked him to ask Capt. Jeff about May schedule - Jeff said his May schedule was not yet finalized. I'm waiting for a response myself, but you can always try re-pinging Jeff.

The last I saw, was a conversation with the Jason Dahl folks a little while back stating they were ready to finish this. There are several people who were owed sim time who has already done theirs.

So I suggest you follow your own advice upthread and contact some of us again

Cheers

Please start a conversation with me if you have not had your time from SMD3, and I will see where they are at with it. I have been working with them on a few things, and I know that they wanted to get this finalized.
Thanks.
Anthony

Pm'ed you Anthony. Thanks for following up for me

For those of you who missed out on SMD3 Simulator activities, United is auctioning off a pretty cool package:


Behind-the-Scenes Flight Simulator Experience
United Flight Training Simulator
Denver, CO
Saturday, June 1-2, 2012*


For those who have ever dreamed of being in the cockpit and having the incredible experience of flying a United airplane, this is your dream come true. You and your guest will fly to Denver on June 1st, the day before your training session. (Flight, hotel and ground transportation included). On the day of simulator training session, you’ll meet with professional instructors and learn what it takes to safely fly some of the most incredible aircrafts ever. You’ll choose your simulated airport and even the weather. Plus, you’ll have an opportunity to talk to emergency training personnel, try out the evacuation slide and slide raft. The control tower has cleared you for takeoff. Begin bidding now.


Package details:

• Members will arrive in Denver on June 1st, 2012.
• Flight Simulator session on June 2nd, 2012.*
• Roundtrip, domestic, economy airfare on United Airlines for two (2).
• One night’s hotel accommodation, assuming double occupancy.
• Complimentary shuttle from airport to hotel and hotel to training facility.
• Up to two (2) hours of flying time in the flight simulator.
• Opportunity to meet a representative from Emergency Training and learn about United’s safety and emergency procedures.
• Visit with the Engineering Group to learn more about Flight Simulators.
• Visit the Cabin trainer used to train flight attendants.
• Q & A with airline professionals.
• Catered lunch included (members to advise if there are any dietary restrictions).

Two packages are currently available; current bids between 50k and 75k MP miles. A bargain, of you ask me, since two r/t tix are included as part of the package.

Not that I'm going to bid on this, since my make-up training is tomorrow night, but I only saw one SIM package being auctioned. Couldn't find the second one that you mentioned.

EDIT: Never mind. Found the second one. Maybe the reason the second one is lower is because it's harder to find

AFAIK, there's only two persons left who hasn't scheduled their Sim. Please contact us if you still haven't scheduled this

Ok, will do.

PM'ed you

Had a wonderful Sim time with Jeff this week. He was very generous with his time Thanks again to UA, SMD3 organizers, & the Jason Dahl Scholarship folk for allowing this awesome opportunity. My adrenaline is still up from doing a landing with one engine out, that Jeff said would have worked on an aircraft carrier.. !! ( seat belts are good)
