Makes no difference. You use autopilot 95% of the time anyway.

Many people think they'll do it on a full motion 737 or A320 because it will help them with the job search. Utter rubbish. Just do it on something generic. When it comes to an airline assessment they will probably know, they asked me, what aircraft you did your MCC on. On my interview 5 out of 6 did it on a generic sim.

Airline assessments will look at your basic flying skills and CRM skills. Not how well you fly the A320 or B737, unless your typed.

As for the 747-400 full motion sim at Euro Sky Bus. I've heard mainly good things about them, but 2 of my friends that went there were told misleading information about how they must do a full motion MCC to get a job in this "current climate".
