As the above poster says, a lot of people cream in their pants at the thought of doing an MCC in a full motion simulator in 737 or A320. Why? I think it's partially so they can log the flight time but also because they think if they get an interview and the sim ride is in a 737 or A320 they feel it gives them the edge.

Whilst their entitled to their opinion I believe the opposite. It's all done on autopilot, your sim ride isn't. MCC is about working with your crew, it has nothing to do with learning how to fly.

Plus, if you get to a sim ride in a 737 and you did your MCC in a Citation, the employers will see this and probably be a little more forgiving in your mistakes as your unfamiliar with type.

I know this doesn't answer OPs question, but it's some food for thought.
