[quote user="243129"]Precisely. "You can act out types of dangerous situations and failures" but you cannot simulate fear,rising panic and the 'pucker factor'.[/quote] I never thought that fear is a good learning factor nor does it help to make the right decisions in critical situations. As Zugmann said, the simulator training helps to learn how to handle a critical situation in a safe environment. Does it happen on the road he already knows how to react and isn't led by fear. BTW here is what I mean with simulator, the Deutsche Bahn ICE simulator: <a href="https://www.zdf.de/assets/teletext-dpa-image-10348~1920x1080?cb=1513524387134">https://www.zdf.de/assets/teletext-dpa-image-10348~1920x1080?cb=1513524387134</a> [quote user="243129"]A veteran operations employee can assess a candidate's mettle by a period of observation in real time circumstances.[/quote] I really doubt it. What real time observations will you make with a newby? You have interviews and tests, but you can be sure the canditates come prepared. And than you need a lot psychology and some tricks to look behind a facade. Your merits as locomotive engineer wouldn't help much. Regards, Volker
