Train how we fight, fight how we train.

I had that same city pair on my A350 type rating ride!

So realistic for the A350 typical operation...

I guess I don’t understand what the LOE is/was. I treat the sim no different than the line with respect to some profiles like an obvious GPWS or TCAS but are ppl saying instructors aren’t adding extra fuel because of the script ? So the examiner wants to evaluate a self induced issue because it’s cooperate to graduate?

They love to tell us that, and if that’s the case, that’s how I’d handle it on the line.
Yup. I always start off an LOE event with a confrontation with the examiner.

It’s not what you say it’s how you say it.

in my experience I got the extra gas when I asked but there was no way for them to change our WDR/numbers.

Honestly it was a non event.

As long as the examiner/instructor adds it then fine, I just think it’s poor training if they’re knowingly putting you into a situation that you try and rectify and they say unable it’s the lesson. That’s pointless negative training.

It is not pointless training to add a time restraint in the form of fuel. The time to learn those lessons is in the sim. If you can't make PDX-SEA work with the 70 minutes of extra fuel they give you in the scenario, you are doing something wrong.

I need to know which bucket to put it in. Some checklists are methodically long and I don't know if the scenario is to complete the checklist accurately to the end or abandon the checklist with captains authority to get it on the ground the former means you rush the later means there's no reason to run the checklist because my time bucket is undefined.

It is a 25 minute flight where you are never more than 15 minutes from an airport. At the worst point in the flight, you will have 70 minutes of and will be right on top of 4 airports. No checklist takes THAT much time. The flap faiiure checklist take the longest and that is 10-15 minutes.
