Correct - my point being it’s not unfair to sometimes see if someone can fly/manage a single engine.
I sort of agree, but it depends how it’s assessed. Ultimately, it’s not a fair playing field in a fixed based B738 sim if Candidate A has 1000hrs Boeing 757 and Candidate B has 2000hrs A320.
You’ll get drilled to death on SE procedures in the TR anyway, so why not give the guys and girls the chance to show some basic handling skills and pilot competencies in a more general way.
If they’re going into the 787 they’ll barely touch the rudder again anyway...
