Yeah...for example, I'll send a student 100nm's away to take a ride from someone I have respect for. How it turned out there is only one DE in the second largest city in WA state is beyond me, but I won't use the guy.

Would you be referring to a guy with the initials of RH, in Spokane? If so, I did my CFII with him and thought he was great. I'm curious as to what problems you've had.
If you want to hear about a guy I hate, get me talking about the examiner in Pasco...

DE727UPS, are you based out of Spokane? I come there quite often. I'm involved with the surface radar evaluation at GEG. Those mushroom looking things sticking up every couple of thousand feet along 3/21 in the runway safety area, I'm helping test how well they work

Yeah. That's the guy. Glad you had a good experience. I'm not sure I even remember the details anymore but the guy busted the only IFR student I ever sent him on a silly thing. I even considered the Pasco guy cause it's not that far. Ended up with the Moses Lake guy. He bent over backwards to help my student when weather forced a change of plans and seemed fair with the IFR ride.

Anybody know what kind of pay they get?

The money you give them when you do your checkride.
I saw a thread in here about someone at ATP talking about them using the same examiners most of the time and keeping them busy almost every day. Some of those guys must make $100K to $200K.

Yeah. I live in Spokane. I'll look for the mushroom thingys by the runway but never noticed them before.

There are 5 of them along the east side of runway 3/21, on 8 foot tall orange posts. I had to do an operational safety assessment to assess the risk of an aircraft hitting one. Not to worry, it is extremely remote!
