Well, since you want to go there...

I was curious about this as it seemed out of character, so I emailed and inquired. It seems he has a slightly different take on this story, and is willing to back it up with the name of the pilot he borrowed the Jepps from (with said pilots knowledge and consent) after AA lost his bag positioning over. Now on the one hand I have someone who I know to some extent willing to give the name of who he borrowed them from, as well as video of a check captain snoozing away in the left seat. On the other hand, I have you, who is very eager to descredit him at all costs, yet does nothing to criticize the actions of said checker in either instance.
Something seems out of balance here - to paraphrase Shakespear, "Methinks he doth protest too much..."
Do I know all of the facts - no, but apparently neither do you, and you still haven't addressed the core issue here of the integrity of the ANA check cadre, which I find interesting.
