MCC Course: Boeing 737 vs CRJ200

[777-Aviator]

Hi everyone,


I'm about to start my MCC course in few weeks and I'm considering the 2 available types for me, the 737 or the CRJ200. I didn't make my mind yet on which one to choose.

Would it make any real-life difference between them? Is there any significance for one over the other from the employers' point of view?

Just to keep you in the picture, it's the 737-400 variant (not a glass cockpit model) and is a full motion level D sim. For the CRJ200, it's a glass cockpit model but it's a fixed base sim.

Would appreciate your advice.

Thanks a lot.

I would definitely have chosen the 737-400 because it's an level D simulator and not fixed based. Regarding the instrumentation if I remember correctly the 734 FNPTII sim at OAA still has a PFD and ND, not that bad compared to the full EFIS of the CRJ200.

From what I have noted some airlines require the low-hour pilots they recruit to have done their MCC training on an aircraft type which they operate (e.g 737 in the case of TNT Airways)
