Is this a common problem?
I picked up this free Japanese newspaper in a supermarket in Gubei district today.¬† It had a little “learn to speak Chinese” section.¬† It contained one sentence, in Chinese, Japanese, and in a phonetic transliteration.¬† It was: You must let me get on the plane, because I am the pilot.
Is there a problem with this in Shanghai?¬† Would a Japanese airline pilot really have to say that?¬† Would Chinese airport personnel look at the pilot and think, “No, he’s not the pilot.¬† He’s just one of those Japanese people who like to dress up in funny outfits”?

hold him until past the scheduled flight time,and see whether a bulky plane remains unmoved on the tarmac,disrupting everything.If it’s the case,we then can safely say he might be the pilot he purported himself to be and let him pass..
