If you read my entire post, you would see that I noted that the DPE's are on the ATP payroll and RARELY fail anybody. i.e. they are not examining to the proper standards(IMHO). I know that things may seem ideal to some, but in the real world things "non-standard" sometimes happen. The owner is a fedex capt and has much "clout" with many DPE's. Trust me, I know plenty of pilots who went through the program and I am not impressed. Can we say "buy a license"?
