Ansett 737 SIM (assuming your talking dear old CZA) not upgraded so training tool only, not acceptable for checkrides.
Suppose someone wants to stump up the $$ to upgrade maybe but have to wonder how CASA would view an all NG operation wanting to use a classic 73 for checks.

Wise friend pointed out QF sim's are a separate entity/profit centre so if someone has the $$ to rent be hard for QF to say no, expect similar for VA equipment as with limited cash flow someone with $$ to spend becomes king.
Plenty of qualified pilots, some with C/T experience, just a matter for REX to decide their FLT OPS structure/personnel and square away with CASA.

To misquote Rachel Hunter "may not happen overnight...but it will happen".
