Fast Eddie, at Sheble. I heard numbers varying from 600 to 800. I forget how far back in time the retests went, but it was a similar setup. Surprise, you just got a notification from the FAA. Set up a checkride with us within the next couple weeks or else. I can’t even imagine the dread someone would experience in these situations.
