First officers are generally held to a much lower standard as you are deemed to be lower in the pecking order. The adverserial and hostile treatment is reserved for DECs as it is they are regarded as at par with the local Korean skippers as far as the company ranking is concerned. Sim and OE training for first officers are mostly easy and straight forward; just fly operate and fly their robotic cook book style and you will do fine. Actually I think Korean skippers like to fly with foreign f/os as they know that you will learn to be subservient...they get a kick out ofyou all kowtowing all over!
