The entire MCC is a scam. You only need the qualification to act as a crew member in a multi-crew operation. Multi-crew type rated aircraft require an approved course of instruction, this course must address multi-crew training specific to the type, otherwise the course will not meet the MOS competency requirements. I'm confident, that in time, people will wake up to this fact and the stand alone MCC will disappear
Many will agree with that comment although it is a courageous assumption that the stand-alone MCC will disappear. After all, you are dealing with CASA with all that implies.
Reports indicate the two current CASA approved MCC providers are charging circa $9000. Hopefully that may change as other potential providers frantically hit their keyboards to provide urgently needed competition. One provider uses a 737 NG fixed based simulator for its 28 hours of MCC training. It might be worth putting a case to CASA for credits for anyone buying a fair dinkum 737 type rating in future. You have to be in it to win it..
