Narrative:
After taxing clear of runway 32 at pittsburgh, the first officer was a little slow in contacting ground control for taxi clearance. I brought the aircraft to a complete stop. I did not want to proceed without a taxi clearance. The pilots have been warned about taxiing without a clearance after clearing the active runway. Further, a FAA inspector was on the jumpseat, and I did not want to commit an infraction in his presence. In my judgement, I had adequate clearance of the active runway. The FAA inspector had some question about clearing the runway. I think that pittsburgh tower or ground controllers would have said something, if I had not adequately cleared the active runway.
