I also found it entirely implausible that this was a "training exercise", conducted at a civilian-occupied hotel in a major city. The real question is: What were the FBI really doing/looking for in that hotel?

And, so what's next? Will Marriott give me the option to stay in a "Water-front, certified non-FBI training room." in the future? </sarcasm>

I've been binge-watching Ozark, it makes me wonder too if "it's a training" is just a cover story.

TV-script-speculation: Maybe they were trying to spook some other pilot who was supposed to be there, but the poor guest in room 1505 had been reassigned to fly the route of the target pilot.
