wat did u do actually
i)did a few flight sim sessions, 744, 747 classic,and a330-300..although i did get to have a look in the a380 and the dash-8
ii)a flat panel sim session,
iii)emergency procedures (that was with cabin crew..like jumping out of an aircraft =]),
iv)did an airside tour at sydney airport (defintely my favourite..got to wear the reflective qantas stuff with the helmet and did engine assessments, landing gear of the a330-300 and 744..got to go in the cockpit for the 744..also just walked along the perimeter of the taxi way so the instructor could teach me how to identify each aircraft)
v)business stuff - helped the psych testing guy, organised some records etc

this was over at qantas group flight training..

highly recommend if you ever the chance..the guys there are really nice and friendly..:D
