I am currently flying as an FO on a turboprop in The States. I have accumulated so far over 800 hours in a multicrew environment in aircraft over 5700kg (12500lbs). I am planning on applying for jobs in Europe. My question is whether a MCC course is required and will be of any help or not.
I can imagine that it's useful to get some highspeed and multicrew experience for pilots flying the smaller planes, but I have already some experience in that.
If a MCC course is worth the money, would it make a difference on what aircrafttype this is done? If trying to get on with Easyjet, I would guess it might be useful for the grading to get some 737 experience in the simulator, or not??
Furtheron I was wondering how the European airlines look at pilots that have experience with EFIS. Are the gradings performed in airplanes with EFIS even if an applicant doesn't have any experience with that?
