The tall guy at the college was sacked for being too tall. He didn't fail any of the assesments as far as I'm aware. Unofficially, he had a big arguement with one of the instructors in the middle of a class about vortex wake. From what I heard he wasn't really keeping his head down (excuse the pun). He'd already had a written warning. I only found out about this today, and thought the excuse that he was too tall was a bit of a get out clause, but now I'm not so sure.
