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.

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.

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.?
