I'm doing my 737 type training in CLT as I speak.

I've had a Fed on the Sim jumpseat for 4 of the last 6 sims. I know they have to observe training occasionally, and observe checks, but ***. The Instructor spends more time dealing with inane questions from the FAA man than instructing me. (Initial jet type course, so I'm in need of a good bit of instruction.

And I quote "just pretend I'm not here"
(insert chatter of Fed and instructor for the next two hours in the background. Slightly distracting to say the least)
