Some of these cheap sims have people who are just trained to operate the sim and they dont actually have any form of a pilots license.

Looks a nice wee place, small though. The A380 sims don't look like they will involve any motion.

Where's the Flyertalk Members Exclusive Invitations and Private Opening? 
You know if it was a BA Aviation Experience there would be free tickets, tasting and try-outs being handed out to all and sundry on the BA board?
(Please rise to the bait Emirates
)

More on the opening with Boris and Tim Clark

I wonder why they dont promote this to the UK Skywards membership base with a free trial or offer.
As someone said upthread, if BA did this, there would be a huge fanfare amongst the BA board and BAEC membership. When BA took delivery of their new A380 and 787 recently, BA invited FT to Seattle to fly the plane home on its delivery flight, covered all costs and made a big deal...

As so many people have said in the past, EK probably run their FF just because they are in the industry and have to do it, but no further. They just don't know how to leverage a bunch of their most 'passionate' flyers and turn that into brand equity - they would rather blow up the dollars on some celebrity sponsorship or racing event.
