So why was this “suitable for long haul” stipulation not a thing just a few short years ago where the exact same set of circumstances you have just described were extant? Am I incorrect in saying that a candidate that displayed any element of training risk would not have made it through the assessment?
Genuine question here because if so then we are definitely talking about a watering down of standards; my understanding (and that of many others) of the BA Sim assessment was it considered a check of your ability to pass any BA type rating you could theoretically be coursed be that short haul or long haul.
