odlix - RTFQ! You are reacting to a statement that was never made. In response to eolas's hype, I simply pointed out that there was nothing particularly special about the A320 sim at Aeromadrid in comparison with every other A320 sim in the world.

As for the training professionals, let's start with most, if not all of the TRIs and TREs that I work with, who find it frustrating to have to re-teach basic MCC skills to people who have spent too much time playing with the shiny knobs and switches and too little concentrating on the job in hand. Flight instruction of any sort has no place in the modular MCC course, a fact that JAR-FCL 1 makes abundantly clear and which is supported, quite forcefully, by the CAA inspectors who approve the courses.

No airlines are routinely hiring low-hours pilots to jet positions with the exception of the CTC/Easyjet programme in which the MCC training is separated from a dedicated JOC, which in turn flows seamlessly into a type rating course.
