However, I note that you only attempt to discredit the person who filmed this, but take no issue with the actions of the Check Airman. What about the character of a pilot who continues an approach into a microburst? That seems like a much greater safety hazard than anything you've alleged! And why can't this guy stay awake on a short two-hour flight? If he's that tired, don't you have the ability to call in fatigued over in Japan?

Or is this a case of the check airman "old boys club" sticking up for each other? Perhaps, since you guys are supposed to be the "top guns" so to speak when it comes to professionalism, you would be better off to clean up your own house first rather than come on here and impugn the character of someone who out's one of your buddies dirty laundry.

Again, the fact that you defend this sort of behavior from Capt. Sleepy does not speak well for the integrity of the ANA check airman cadre.
