We had a TRE that seemed to be on a bit of a crusade in my outfit. Lots of sickness from candidates on their LPC/OPC days with this guy. Duly noted by management and the CAA FOI.
My two cents.
The problem is that a huge amount of TREs still erroneously think that they have been given the sheriff badge and are entitled to do as they please, when it is completely not the case.
When conducting Initial TRE AOC during my career I have witnessed in many occasions a lack of knowledge on OM-D and EASA training bulletins and that is exactly the moment I understand they are not (yet) suitable for the position despite a total knowledge of FCOMS/OM-A and so on.
