OPC from the back seat?
But all these scenarios are slightly different from the OP's. To have eg a TRI as the capt, with examiner in the back, is fine. But not to have 2 line pilots up front, both under test for OPC, with examiner in the back.
Thanks HC - glad somebody else could see the point!

Everyone saw the point but some don't recognise when they're being wound up. 
I think not! Typical digressional behaviour I'd say.....

Hoge;
I've had a similar one, me and P2 in sim doing OPC/IRR, head of standards testing us, CAA examiner testing him (and us) and CAA man's boss examining him (and and H of S and us). All pretty sweaty in such a confined space.
Due to the fact that only me, P2 and head of standards could really see what was going on the computer traces and film of the whole event played a huge part in the de-brief. As the candidates we were invited to everyone's de-briefs and then all went to the pub for an epic session (I'd say memorable, but my memory became very fuzzy after a LOT of spiced rum).
My initial IR/H was like ShyT's, company training captain lifting and dropping wheels and setting altimeters while nice CAA man sat on jumpseat and took notes (CAA man was rated and current on type), I could have killed the company man when he pointed out errors the CAA man hadn't mentioned during the debrief! Still a full first time pass is one to be pleased about.
I'm off to the box shortly for OPC/LPC with examiner being examined, always good for a laugh
