Don't worry guys, I'm not here to observe you all." The FAA rep and another classmate were CONSTANTLY interrupting and making jokes and being disruptive and loud, and quite frankly disrespectful to the instructor.

... everyone got back from lunch and apparently instead of telling the pilot that he should be paying attention in class, the FAA rep called the dallas area FAA office and filed a report against the classmate for gross misconduct.

Another pilot asked the rep why he couldn't simply talk to the pilot and his response was that he "wasn't allowed to interact with any of the students, it would be going against procedure."
(Apparently being disruptive during an indoc class is okay though)


Just a heads up guys. Don't give anyone a reason to tarnish your record!!!

(Part of me was worried to even post this. Who knows what someone can get in trouble for these days?)"
