Dude, I know. I've trained, instructed and am now playing airline pilot under their watchful eye. The inspectors I've dealt with have been nice guys but they seem to play by rules that differ greatly from other parts of the country. They say there's a reason that the regs are so vague...
Couldn't agree more. The last thing I'm going to want to do after a 4 day is go bomb around in a 172 with somebody scaring the crap out of me.
