Anyone who has been around the block a few times in professional aviation has a feel for what guys like this are like. A laugh in the bar, but we'd probably rather fly with someone else. They tend to make for too stressful a day. Some inexperienced F/O's can be taken in by it all of course...
Indeed, we even have the benefit of someone who knows him well telling it like it is........and then we have Learjet50 contradicting all this. And has he ever met him? No.
