If you are only going to do an MCC - do a cheap one. If you want to improve employment prospects, do a JIC or an MCC on a jet device (which does not handle a bit like a jet - ours handles enough like a jet to qualify as a FFS) AND then do enough extra hours to get your handling up to the standards required by the GAPAN respondants.
Moggie - we are in complete agreement then.
MCC is one thing.
JIC/JOC is another.
As long as that clear I have no quibble whatsover. Its the suggestion that an MCC done on a fancy looking "Jet" sim device is in someway a substitute for a JIC/JOC.

I don't agree with people having to do JOC courses out of their own pocket. Its halfway to paying for your own type rating which I also disagree with.
If Daddys a millionaire or you simply made wise property investments and have the cash - go for broke and do an Integrated CPL/IR MCC JOC and 737 rating.
But for Joe Wannabe - draw the line at the MCC.
