Some time ago around Longitude 110 East, and during type rating in simulator on large jet a start problem is introduced by instructor. Local captain calls for wrong checklist and is corrected by the F/O. The captain then demands again the checklist he asked for. F/O (non-local) has no choice given local culture mores to read out the demanded checklist. Captain soon realises he has indeed called for inccorrect checklist and directs the F/O to read the correct checklist, which he does. No further drama until de-brief by local instructor who fails the F/O for not displaying assertiveness. The captain gets off scott free.... As the Americans say "Go figure....."
