I was a FAIP and gave a LOT of checkrides. I was not a SEFE and I had zero perspective. It abhors me now to know that guys might not get hired because I busted them for scaring the bejesus out of me on a turning rejoin.
Do what you want, but IMO UPT busts = crap under the noise level.
You had all the perspective you needed. We didn't factor race, gender, nationality, AD vs guard, or the flight commander's dislike of extra paperwork into our checkride scores, why on Earth should the student's possible future interview with a company that isn't turning people away for UPT hooks factor into it?
Hook 'em all!
