If a crew obeys the rules in the sim and then breaks them on the line, they’re asking for trouble in an environment where a repeat / retest isn’t an option.
This is ridiculous apart from perhaps the altitude bit, I will accept no argument about 'standards' because the rest has nothing to do with standards or safety nor does it have any actual relevance, it comes across more as a bit of willy waving by you to tell the truth.
Thankfully in my outfit they are more focused on the big picture stuff rather than focusing on reasons to fail you.
