I was just about to ask if it was a common cockpit, or 2 independent types. In looking up training schools, they are offering a 737 type covering 737-300 -737 Max9. So it would seem that they could cross populate. Perhaps spreading 1 of the normally in a Max with 1 normally on the 738 for consistency.
