At least he was in the fwd obs seat. I had the same JCAB checker for my sim ride and my JCAB flight check. It was NRT-HNL, he pounded me with questions for the first three hours, went to his seat in first class had his meal, then came back to pound me some more. Didn't tell me I had passed until the debrief in the hotel. I was more brain-dead than usual,but I had a good night at the ShoreBird. This was the culmination of 6 months of training.
On the way back I was deadhead and asked him how my partner was doing on the legback. He said " I don't know, we are not finished yet" Not a whole lot of humor with the JCAB.
I dealt with them in Moses Lake and they weren't much fun there either.
