Never say die
This subject never ceases to amaze me. It's almost like DPE's have gained this mythic standing in aviation.
Not mythic, but a very good standing! I have learned that having a good relationship with DPE's can be very valuable.
All of these DPE's have a good network in the aviation community. There are a few that I know I could call up and they would do their hardest to find me a job if I needed it.
DPEs can detect a " I'm paying you!" attitude from a mile away. Better be 100% within PTS!
