Update:
Turns out the kid only got a warning from the FAA put on his record, and they didnt take any action against him. Does that still mean he has an incident on his record? Does that still hurt his chances of applying for airlines?
any update on the examiner? Isn't an instructor responsible for the student at all time while in the training environment? So is the examiner responsible on a checkride (im clueless)
That only thing that will hurt him is if he goes to the interview dressed up like your avatar. good luck to the student
