"And this becomes the point where all of us become discriminatory.......the question that need an answer is: 'Would I really want to fly with this guy, and would I be prepared to let ALL of our crew members fly with him? Will he be good for the company?'
If the answer to any of these is NO then they have to, for many obvious reasons, say 'Sorry, no job for you.' "
Of the 2 questions that according to you (hope you are/were in the Emirates' recruitment team) need a YES as an answer for someone to qualify admission to the world's most select club i-e Emirates' cockpit crew, only the latter question holds merit. There are many a times when tolerating someone besides you in the cockpit crosses your mind, but then we all have a job to do and isn't CRM all about that? Is it possible for everybody to like or be friends with everybody?...NO sir.
So the premise that during a SIM check ride the assessor is looking for social compatability rather than good management and/or decisions that affect company ops, prestige and finances etc. is surely a stretch. The only consideration that is irrefutable is 'Will he be good for the company?'.
The social compatability bit is best left out of the SIM to the Psychometrics team, the experts in that area.
Happy landings

Quit thinking in a foreign language and then translating to Queen's English.
When will you make any sense?
Now don't go working overtime with your "first world" ego
