Yes the Thai DCA examiners do go for sim checks at Orient Thai but Udom pays them four times the per diems in cash that he pays his flight crew on overnights. One thinks the Thai DCA should be paying that.

A lot of them fall asleep at the back of the simulator and watch nothing. Once a Captain called nothing like "Confirm Engine Fire" but says "get the book out, open the book" and listens to nothing at what the F/E reads out. Once a F/O shot 6 one engine inop approaches and never got near the runway but the examiners just accept all this. Someone please go and look closely at where the standards lie down there.
