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.
You are really clueless about Air Japan. I am not Japanese therefore I can't be a check pilot. I am not defending one of my buddies. Every airline has these types of pilots but the solution to the problem is not posting videos on You Tube and having guys like you repost them on this forum when you do not know all the facts. You want to talk about professionalism, posting this video is far from being professional. As a professional pilot is this what you are going to do every time you have a problem with another pilot. I am sorry but Greg is the one who is not being professional and needs to grow up and realize the problems he has created are his own fault.
