I have paid a ton of money to examiners and FLAP (**********g light airplane pilot) schools for my two sons training. I am not enamored with any of them, and that includes ATP, Flight Safety, just to name a few. There are two areas that I think are deficient: 1. Lack of standardization 2. Examiners who are running a tax fraud scam by taking only cash, and tabulating multiple failures to build up their incomes. Fortunately, I only had two of these guys in my career: one for ATP in a Navy N-265 and later a L-24. All of my ratings after that were company designees.
