I'm not sure what you think this mythical 'jet time' will do for you.
As so called 'wannabes' we are constantly reminded how 'inexperienced' we are and how we lack any 'jet' experience. Whats the harm in trying to get some jet time or sim time, whatever you want to call it, as part of a course requirement ?
My MCC on a B737 consisted of a number of hours of general handling along with manual flying of ILS and VOR approaches, with automated route flying being introduced at the end.
Several weeks after my MCC I had a sim check for a jet job which I passed.
The practise in the sim on my MCC held me in good stead for the sim ride which not only assessed my flying skills but also the CRM aspect of things.
If I had of done my MCC in an arm chair in a classroom I don't believe I would have been successful.
No employer gives a damn whether you did your MCC in an A320 sim or a Lancaster sim!
What about an arm chair ?? Where can I find a Lancaster sim??
