MCC is a tick ina box so unless its done to the company's SOP's you are joining it could pretty much be done in a FNPT 1.

The pre sim lectures actually carry more info than you realise and ists only after a couple of months on the line you remember and suddenly realise its not bollocks after all.

As for the flying crap if you haven't flown something that fast before you will be well behined the machine. And if its 2 wannbies together if you concentrate on the flying you will be so far behined the machine you won't get the points of the course across.

Remember the MCC is a complete !!!! up of a course which people are skinning wannabies for. It was meant to be a pre type rating course to break you into multi crew flying but they way the CAA worded the regs it meant that you needed it to start a type rating when it should really be a precourse with the company. Then loads of FTO's bought in the hardware to satisfy the requirments. When the CAA realised that the MCC wasn't being treated in the manner it was meant there was a huge legal problem because if they changed the reg several companys were going to be nearly half a mil down after the investment in FNPT II's. So we now have the usual !!!! up that wannabies need abit of paper for 2 grand plus but its no use to man nor beast in the real world.

My advice would be get the cheapest bit of paper possible. if you want to go and do the jet thing sort it out seperatly.
