I would think that the time on a B737 simulator would be much more valuable as it is relevent to a type???

I would be grateful for any opinions on this and also if anyone has any info on what FRASCA 242 & ALSIM AL200 MCC are like and how long you spend on each at Cabair

Thanks

Firstly, OAT's 737 sim is not a real 737 sim, it is generic.

Also, MCC courses are NOT to teach you to fly a particular type of aircraft. They are to give you experience of working in a two-crew environment. If the sim is of a complex aircraft type you may end up spending too much time having to learn the systems of that aircraft and thus lose out on the actual reason for an MCC course.
