Everything else about it is still a 737. The training is also not limited to just sim time, there should be extensive teaching on integration e.g. checklists and system design.
Also, when you're in the sim, it's not like its just take off, fly around, something fails, you land, kind of thing.. It's a situation they are provided and then you are observed as to how you handle that situation. In this case, I'm sure it will focus on random failures along this new MCAS path (what i'm saying is the MCAS system will be fully failable as a sim option). Your manager (a senior pilot) then decides, on all information not just the sim, if you are airworthy or need another go around of training.

- Filligree 7y agoNot exactly wrong, though. It's the engine characteristics and MCAS system that make the difference, and those don't affect most regimes. (Or in MCAS' case, aren't supposed to.)
