Didn't we have a former head of MD-11 training who was an F/O and got his boys to give him the secret handshake Captain checkout on the Maddog? Went around calling himself "Captain Buck" 2-3 years before he could hold the seat. Went to 757 training in Atlanta and oops, buffooned it. Sadly for this individual, since he never really had a formal MD-11 Capt checkout, he had to go through the same course as those minions he had such distain for. It all has a happy ending though because after 200% training, he was able to re-check out on the jet he was calling himself "Captain" on for many years. In theory, he could have been giving sim checks to line Captains. Is this FUBAR or what?
