OAI wants you to get the type first and then show them instrument proficiency from the right seat. I did swing the gear in the right seat during my sin partners sessions but I didn't do the maneuvers from the right seat. The rational provided from the traing Dept was: "We don't fly much so you're as proficient in the sim as you're going to be after your initial type; not when you come back for recurrent in six months." I kept a positive attitude and was just happy to be there. I explained that I had not flown the maneuvers from the right seat and I would just like to take the Instrument Proficiency Check again and call the previous ride my training. No Dice. The decision was made by the bean counters back in Tulsa.
