As one who recently went through 2 years of school full time and a
good deal of personal expense to obtain my A&P certificate, please
excuse me if I fail to feel any sympathy for those mechanics. They
tried to skirt the system and get by on the cheap, and ended up
getting exactly what they paid for.

Well, maybe...but...
I think it would be unfair and a mistake to assume all 3000 were
trying to "...skirt the system and get by on the cheap.." Many could
have been just as competant and prepared as you say you were but
simply got that particular DE by luck-of-the-draw.

You are probably right there. There may have been guys who didn't
know and who were genuinely surprised at the test they were given.
For all I know that may be how the guy got busted. Either way though,
I think it is safe to say that most people sought him out specifically
because word had gotten around that he was the guy to go to for a
quick and easy examination. I may be totally off base (it has
happened before) but I feel that in any business that you will attract
the sort of clientele that you cater to, and that as a customer you
generally get what you pay for.
