Hi guys,
Please allow me to dig up this thread.
I'm currently about to finish my ATPL in Spain, Barcelona Flight School. Originally I was supposed to do the MCC on CAE's A320 FFS in El Prat for 5300€. However my school recently got the certification for their new in house 737 simulator (softek sim) and they now offer a APS MCC (40 hours instead of 20) for 6500€.
As far as I understand, the APS MCC includes a JOC and more sim hours to allow a better transition to jet engines aircrafts.
Anyone here has some feedbacks/thoughts about the real added value of the APS MCC versus the normal MCC?
I'm concerned it might be just another marketing bs from the industry...
On one hand I know that the MCC course at CAE is really solid. All students I know who been there were really satisfied and say the instruction quality was really high.
On the other hand, I know the guys in charge of the APS MCC in my school. They are by far the best instructors I've seen and they're all current commercial pilots. And I'll get an extra training that from I've heard might be requested to apply to some airlines. But that's an additional 1200€ that could maybe better spent elsewhere...
