OK, so which TP will climb high enough, fast enough to cruise at M.74 between Manchester and Aberdeen and in doing so strecth your capacity and improve you flt deck management?

Dornier 328 will do that.

I think JOC courses are great. But they aren't MCC courses. To blur the distiniction serves no purpose.

To draw on my limited experience I have seen how both Go and easyJet operate a B737-300. Same aircraft flying same routes to same airfields. Completely different SOP's, whole different philosophy in who does what, different checklist, different calls made at different times.

And hardest of all is to change from one to another.

Makes me wonder if the average 200hr Joe Bloggs would be better off arriving at his first airline without ever being taught any type of commercial SOP's i.e. no MCC whatsoever.

I maintain that the cheapest Certificate is the best and the money saved deployed in other ways to help you pass that Sim assessment.

If Daddy's rich then by all means do your MCC on a Cat D 744 at Cranebank.
