From the captains, instructors and examiners that I have spoke to about the mcc, is that doing it on a jet sim DOES look alot better on your cv than a turbo prop sim!
That just leaves the question would I do a full motion sim or a FNPT 2 jet trainer!!!
Glass cockpit or lots of dials? more modern aircraft are glass cockpit but BA are using an old sim for there interviews!!!
have you still got £5k left or are you sleeping at the banks doors begging to give you a little more money?
personally even though I couldn't afford to have the name oxford on my cv I'll try and beef my cv as much as possible even if it means spending an extra 1.5k on it
Does it matter where we go? in 5 years time it probably not.
more airlines seem to be using computerised application forms asking if you hold an mcc. to them it doesn't seem to matter as long as you tick the box, remember when you do a type rating you'll probably be put through another mcc then.
At the end of the day they want to know do you hold an mcc yes or no. It might help if the people running it have endless contacts to help you as well. ask.
If you have the money then I'd go for something fun whatever you want dials or glass cockpit.
No one who I've spoke to have been disappointed from there experience which have included oxford, lgu, epta, parc and jetlinx.
Just do what you feel would be the right thing we're not all pre cogs so use the force?
