FAA/Boeing have already said a workaround using NG sims will be allowed. With so few Max sims and so many airlines with parked planes it’s not feasible to tell some airlines “tough ****....go buy a MAX sim”.
The only difference is the display. Sim is only going to be required to train MCAS/trim runaway. You can do that in any model.

Source?
It is my understanding that the software is significantly different in the 737 MAX. Not just the displays.
Expediting the timetable for the return of the 737 MAX and relaxing sim requirements sounds a lot like the first mistakes that were made.
If there is another accident, one can imagine the backlash that would ensue.

The MAX has slightly larger displays, a smaller gear handle, and the clock is in a different place. That’s it.
The important stuff is all the same. The software can be changed, that’s the beauty of a simulator.

Just got back from the Training Center. Plan is to have all 9 MAX simulators up and running by June. 3 MAX sims are already installed and operational in the new training center and 6 MAX sims installed in the old training center on a temporary basis until the construction is finished on the new training center expansion sometime in Q4 2020. The current (new) training center is currently full after the first 3 MAX sims were installed.

What?! Two completely different and disparate rumors from the training center? Say it ain't so.
If we collaborated and made a list of the training center "facts" and scored them a year later I would bet that they run somewhere around 20 percent true.

I don’t know. I didn’t go over to the old building. I know 3 were supposed to have shown up a few days ago. That would bring the total to 6, and the other 3 have been moved up to be in place by June. That information came from Alan I believe.

It may not be as simple as just uploading a new software package.

For the application, when it asks about failures: Have you EVER failed a Flight Check-ride, Proficiency Check, Flight Evaluation, or Upgrade attempt (Aircraft or Simulator, Oral or Practical)?
For military, does this include check rides for graduate level tactical qualifications like FAC(A), SFTI, etc.?
