Sim world: SLI FO who is qualified as a PCP can absolutely bust anyone on prof. checks. As early as memory items!
Moreover he can sat the ride, but if need be put a pilot or both into management discretion training which will require a return to the sim in 4 months and a full MV and LOE.
Real world: Not sure about AQFO authority. Don't they just give theater rides to funky airports? Hard to imagine a new hire getting that job, you have to have been a few hundred times to garden spots like Tegucigalpa etc. Up to CLCP on each fleet who to hire, I guess.
