During a Recurrent TRAINING debrief last month ( 747-8 )
Sim ins: There will be a 1 on your report.
Us ( 2 F/O's ): Why??
S.I. : I had to stop the sim to intervene.
Us: That was not intervening, that was stopping the sim to give us input on an electronic checklist, for a malfunction we cannot simulated and practice in normal cruise. Me: When I was an instructor, we called it training.
S.I.: No, if I give an input it mean you'r not up to standerd.
Us: But we had a good Proficiency Check with a very experienced and realistic Senior Training Captain, representing C.A.D., yesterday.
S.I.: But did he stop the sim? In CX thats a 1.
Us: Is the difference not CHECK and TRAIN ?
S.I: ( getting irate at these 2 F/O's ) We have a high standerd here at CX.
Us ... just looking at each other
