Narrative:

Observed deicing of my aircraft. Post deicing inspection not completed. Man driving push-back tug assured me it has been done. I asked to speak with the crew chief. He said he had done the inspection. Further dialogue revealed he had inspected the bottom of the wings only. Note: the ladders had been removed from the aircraft before deicing had been completed. Crew chief completed proper inspection on my request.
