JOC

It seems that some companies (such as Wizzair) now requires cadets to have completed Jet Orientation Course (JOC) and more and more people actually pay for this kind of courses even on their own initiative.

I really don't understand the point of this, since I think a good 200-hour pilot (albeit with a fresh CPL licence) is able to complete a type rating (combined with shortened MCC) without any previous jet experience. There is really no need for spending an additional 20 hours in a FNPT2 sim of aircraft, which might be miles different than the aircraft you will fly as your first job. Or is there?

Any thoughts on this?
