Well i'll put in a shout for the course at Wolverhampton Flight Centre - thoroughly enjoyed it, pleasant people, very favourable cost, and first class b+b accommodation nearby. A nice pint too at the local pub!
As for the all singing/dancing jet sim that bucks up and down versus a basic FNPT2 - personally I dont think most airlines give two hoots as to what you did the MCC on. Certainly mine didnt. I dont think they even asked, they just made sure I had a certificate...just a tick in the box for them!
