I attempt the selection in Amsterdam with air astana. I meet 2 captains at the hotel where we went to the simulator. Basic questions about the airplane with little tricks like "do you have to turn the fuel pumps on to turn the apu?" "no" was my answer. he sais "right, because is powered by AC right?" "right". He said, "no, is DC" and said something in russian to the other captain. by the way, they speak russian ALL THE TIME with each other, and they laught. total disrespect. they speak english with you, but they dont care at all of not speak russian. They asked me a few questions about hyd.
They use EPR, so, you have to ask for CLIMB thrust on the TMSP. They wanted a visual but he wanted to vector me and that i used the auto pilot. He gave me a severe demage and a LOC app. The section is strange, they clearly do not like you and they are mean most of the times. They use LIDO charts.
