"Anyone who takes the attitude of tick in the box misses the whole point of MCC."
When I originally stated that an MCC is just a tick in the box, I didn't mean from a learning point of view, but from the opinion that the type of sim makes no difference. The whole point of an MCC is to teach just that - Multi Crew Co-operation. Whether a full motion jet sim or a fixed base turbo prop is used is irrelevant. The quality of the teaching and not the aircraft type should be the consideration.
For those that argue a jet sim will help when they later have an interview and sim check, do you all assume you will be gaining your first commercial job on a heavy jet?
The other thing to consider is the time it can take to gain employment after your MCC... you might well have to wait 6 months, a year or even longer before getting that first break - just how useful will that long forgotten MCC be then?
Anyway, just my thoughts...
For the record I did my MCC at London Met (excellent course BTW) and then when I did eventually get a sim check, 20 months later, I used the guys at Jetlinx for some specific practice, flying the profiles that comprised my sim assessment.
