A&P Revocations!

Some years ago, an A&P designated examiner was convicted of fraud for
issuing mechanic's certificates without giving much of a test. He was
located in Sanford, Florida. Nearly 3000 certified letters were mailed out
last week to everyone who used this examiner from October 1995 to Aug 1998.
The letter states that everyone receiving a letter has 3 weeks to get ready
for a section 77409 recertification exam at a FSDO. The options provided for
those who can't take the test during the stated period are voluntary
surrender or emergency revocation.

Personally this sucks. There are plenty of legal issues still to be brought
up with the inspector general's office regarding the matter (Is all the work
that these mechanics signed off in the past 9 years now invalid?). I post
about it in case any affected persons may not have received their letter.
