I think exactly this is still happening - in fact I see advertisements for MCC still on PPRUNE!
Whats even more remarkable is that instructors with Type Rating approvals on 737/320/etc, who hold ATPLs can’t actually run the MCC course without a seperate training endorsement on their licence.
Absolutely ridiculous!
