If that is the case, the 'team' concept is empty verbage. As a check airman, I always took time to make sure the pilots were ready for training and as a "team" we would go through the syllabus.
Any failure and the Senior first went to the check airman to find out 1) why the airman failed 2) if there were any difficulties and if so why the airman was put up for the ride. The first one to dance was not the airman but the check airman.
Yes, the expect the applicant to do the work but to say they expect you to find the resources is a sign there is something amiss with the company culture. And considering all the resources that have been expended to get someone to an oral or a sim check, it sounds like p*ss poor management and a huge waste of time, money and resources.
