If we're fired if we fail twice, so should Feds or at the least they should not be given oversight, IMHO. That should be an easy rule to implement. And FWIW, I was not on the 1900D but we all knew of their checkride plight.
Think I had him for my 145 type oral. Started telling me how much of a embaresment I was because my flight bag had duct tape holding it together...this as we are walking upstairs to start the oral, My reply was when I make a livable wage then I'll buy a new one. Guess how that oral went? As said before, anyone can fail for any reason and someones failures may not always be just.
