You know, Dudley, when I read his story my first thought was we were being
trolled (again). There's been a lot of that here lately.

Could be Mort.
What I usually do with posts like this one is answer it anyway, handling it
seriously initially. If its legit, the OP gets a useful answer. If its a
troll, the answer simply uses the OP as a bounce to inform the rest of the
group on how to handle such a situation (from my point of view anyway
:-).
In other words, for the purpose of useful signal transfer, its a win/ win
situation for the first response.

Keep in mind that the OP mentioned the name of a real flight school:

"We return to Monarch Air...." and the handle he chose, "Monarch
Student," suggests to me, at least, that the story is real. I think it
unlikely that a troll would have mentioned or implied any real flight
school name that could be checked out.

Also, there is at least one Monarch Air flight school based out of
Dallas Texas:

Maybe a competitor, or someone with a grudge against 'Jake'?

Or he's got some axe to grind.

Monarch Air has schools at both Addison, from whence they took off, and at
McKinney, where he soloed. I have taken training at the latter from a very
competent instructor. I think it's this particular instructor, not the
school.

Monarch Air has schools at both Addison, from whence they took off,

Whence they took off. "whence" means "from where".
