Bearcat,
I know what you're saying, but I gotta disagree with you a bit there, the MCC is much more than a tick in the box.
I think it's as important in its simulation of multi-crew commercial (not necessarily airline) operations as it is in its simulation of flight. There's alot to be learnt by those who have to take the course (ie. those who haven't the experience to be exempt from it). Although it can be a bit contrived, it's a good place to make the required attitude adjustment from 'I' to 'We'.
I know all that might sound a bit bullsh1tty but my point is that different providers put different emphasis on different aspects of flight ops and that's where choosing to suit your career plans (if you've got that far!) is important.
