Yes........ the DEC sim ride is on an A343. You get one fault prior to push, and then one on taxi, then an engine failure at V1 out of Johannesberg. Then shortly after you are starting climb to acceleration height you get another engine failure on the same side. (max weight)

Then the Purser comes up and says there is a drunk pax who was caught fondling a local boy. Then SMNC calls you on ACARS and is wondering about your dual engine failure, just about the time you are struggling with control of the aircraft.

Then your wife calls you on the new EK cell phone system questioning you about this Lebanese chick who called that evening asking for you.

Then the F/O sitting beside you, who happens to be waiting for his command a year after the FOM said he would get it............ gives you a look. And since you are American, you calmy ask........... YA'LL with me now?? To which his furrows his brow and watches you fly into the terrain. The moment before impact (in the sim), you get on the radio and calmly state, in your best Chuck Yeager voice............ K, undershtand..... cleared down 240, roger that !!!

Fortunately since Captain American is evaluating you, he faults the FO and writes him up while commending you on your excellent CRM abilities.

OH wait, sorry, that is the sim ride minus the evaluation, for the average FO here. YOU will get a VFR circuit and an ECAM cabin fan fault. Hope you can handle that one! JUST STATE " ECAM actions, YOU have control." Don't get yourself into a situation where you actually have to show your handling skills. THen again, based on your totally disrespectful and uninformed question, YOU might not want to do much talking in the sim or the interview for that matter.
