It wasn't done on the fly. How it was told to me was this guy originally passed the interview but LH and NA had serious doubts he would be able to fly single engine since all his military time was centerline thrust.
So with approval from NA (yes NA) LH put him back in the sim, set him up configured on the ILS and told him what would be happening.
With NA and others watching LH failed one engine and the plane ended up rolling inverted into the ground.
With proper instruction and good attitudes this guy would be able to fly just fine on a single engine. He passed through military flight training and if it was centerline thrust I'm going to go out on a guess and say fighters. You've gotta be kidding me if they passed on this applicant. It be one thing if his personality was awful but that's highly unlikely.
