For any aspiring travel professional, spending 40+ hours in the Amadeus Simulator is equivalent to a pianist practicing scales. It is boring, it requires memorization, and the green screen looks like a relic from the 1980s. But the moment you enter a busy travel agency during a flight cancellation crisis, the agent who can navigate the Amadeus command line without touching the mouse will be the hero of the day.
