aslan1982,
I dont really see how talking to passengers has anything to do with an MCC. This shows my point about the Oxford MCC sure it might be cool to do all that stuff but you wont be doing that in an airline sim check and you learn all that stuff during your type rating.
Im Simtech we done one line flight Dublin to Manchester, failed ILS with a go around, back around for a VOR with another go around, then divert to Liverpool and smoke in the cockpit on the way(simulated). We hand flew all this and let me tell you this is very busy and if your not working as a crew this flight in particular will go pear shaped!
Im not trying to push Simtech but I think you should look at the content of the course. In my opinion hand flying is what I would choose after all your paying for it so you might aswell fly it instead of talking into a microphone pretenting to talk to passengers
