hmm...having given this a little thought, you both may be right. I have nothing to do with the candidates' assessments though; I only do the routine stuff.
In my defence, that is why I wrote what I did; it is unfair for pilots to have advance notice of the details of sim checks and that is why we keep them secret.
Seeing would-be joiners is not the same as assessing our own people and so I apologise for seeming harsh.
By the way, we are all a jolly good lot here so don't take any notice of my ill-considered post.
