Two more phone calls a couple weeks later, and I finally wrote them a letter listing the page in 8900.2 and saying that I was well aware if it. Don't know what happened to cause this, but they ARE watching us. After doing two rides in one day I'm tired enough I wouldn't WANT to do any more...
Feel free to "call B.S." on whatever you want. But I was there and saw it happen when I was a CFI in the 90's. And like I said, in the case of one, it caught up to him and ended his examining career, as well as helped to slightly screw up the careers of people he examined. Until it was discovered years later what he had done.
I'm not saying ALL of them were like that, but I remember seeing more than one DE at the airport from sun up to sun down doing rides, for more than 2 applicants.
