Yes I too have heard some disturbing feedback about the aforementioned testing officer.
Aparrently he failed his C Cat flight test some three times......and upon failing a recent candidate was kind enough to inform the hapless soul he indeed had the power to remove his current qualification........sounds like a little man enjoying (abusing)the authority bestowed him.
It is a pity as the ASL assessors in the past were guys with "industry experience" who applied their judgement consistently!
