No professional should ever fail an inspection.
I understand we are not perfect, but we should know the code and have the skills for the work we do all day long.
In any case the "boss" should be aware enough of the ability of the installers to do his own inspection.
Inspectors are there for 2 reasons:
1) to "inspect" those who lack skill and supervision.
2) to inspect those who are working outside of their daily knowlege/skill set.

My 2 and 1/2 cents......
I thought the main purpose of an Electrical Inspector is to ensure a Code compliant installation, hence a safe installation.
Not to be the guy to write the 'punch list'; not to be 'the reason the job is held-up, or stopped; not to be an 'instructor' for those with a lack of knowledge; and not to be 'a guy with an attitude'.
OK, yes, there were, and may still be some 'attitude' guys, "my way", etc., but with my EC hat on, I don't see them anymore.
As an AHJ in a 32 sq. mi. town, I see all kinds of 'work'; from some of the best professionals, to some of the bigest nightmare 'homeowners', with the occasional handyman/unlicensed guy thrown in.
In NJ, "Workmanship" cannot be cited as a violation; but.....99.9% of the time, you can find enough NEC items within a "sloppy" job, to write a red sticker.
A personal note; seems that the multi-license AHJ's are a hot commodity in these parts also; a lot of the towns are seeking them.

John,
Finished the 34 Hours this past Sat, we had a good number of inspectors in the class, very intresting day, the subject of requiring a sealed plan for installation of commercial lighting came up, and that made the day.

For anyone who doesn't watch "Romania's Most Wanted", I owe an apology here! Vlad the Impaler was a ruthless ruler with a nasty habit of making shish kabobs out of those he defeated. He inspired Bram Stoker's novel, "Dracula". The lawyers and ex-wife comment was a cross reference to other forms of blood suckers. Again, I'm sorry if I offended anyone!!!

Vladimir Putin - President of the Russian Federation
Vladimir Guerrero - Baseball Player (Angels)
Vladimir Dezhurov - Cosmonaut
St. Vladimir - Patron Saint of Russian Catholics
Vladimir Horowitz - Russian/American concert pianist.
And a long, long list of others.
How many things we can find involving the name "Joe" or "Bob"? Bet they aren't all flattering.
TV is no place to learn anything, and ECN is no place to beat on people because of their name.
Just My Opinion

It's called humor. That's what I love about this site, even when things get heated sometimes there is always someone to pop up and make me laugh. I got it Joe.
