I've heard this many times from the guys, they're going to inspect an operation and their boss says go JS your way there. They have no choice. I think some are over sitting up front but don't have a choice, their enthusiasm is low.
Although there was one pilot on this site that got a full blown checkride from an FAA guy who wasn't even an inspector. Even concluded the ride with "okay guys, first thing is you passed..."
Passed? WTH are you talking about?
