On an FO PT once, the instructor programmed a stick pusher on take off. Obviously, I didn't know he had that planned. So on the takeoff roll, I applied some forward pressure on the yolk in line with out operations manual. Because of the pressure, the pusher didn't activate but did partially on the Captain's side. It was a situation even the senior instructor hadn't seen before. The Captain I was flying with did nothing. I assumed it was because it was a 'training event' and didn't want to call the abort. Had he tried that online, or had he not paid attention, we would have had some problems. The point - being anti CRM just because you're in the sim to me is a bad idea. I understand what is being tested, but if you have a life threatening malfunction whether or not it's in the sim should be irrelevant - regardless of who is flying.
