Simulator training, very similar to what airline pilot dose. they are regulated to be in flight simulators every nine months that they have to go in and go through training on flight simulators. theres no regulation right now in the maritime, so theres a good possibility that nobody sailing the ship has ever been in a simulator, depending on what nationality or what flag you fly under. something was not seen. its a great thing to do. >> i appreciate you being here. thank you very much. honor a...
