I've seen examiners bust pilots for making errors, realizing and then fixing that error. This same examiner would then let other people make major flying errors without correction and proceed to not bust them. Some of the worst people I have meet in aviation have been designated examiners who have no business in aviation at all let alone be designated by the FAA as an examiner. And airline companies are letting these people decide who does and who doesn't work at their respective companies?
