To Sim ride or not Sim ride...

I was sitting here wondering is it REALLY that important for a potential employer to put you through a through a sim assessment? Virgin Atlantic are no longer doing sim assessments and I don't hear of guys being kicked out of Virgin failing their course because of bad flying skills!

Ok if your fresh out of an aviation school then yes I can understand but if your a current Commercial Pilot flying regular and doing your airlines annual checks, does this not prove you can do the job and at least fly an aircraft?

Comments would be appreciated

Just wanted to start a debate on the pros and cons of sim assessments
