Fake airline pilot 'landed planes at Gatwick'
A man who forged pilot's qualifications to get a job as a commercial airline pilot is believed to be on the run after failing to turn up at court. Pretty impressive, when you think about it. (www.bbc.co.uk) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The man is a thief and scoundrel. I too was a pilot at NWA when he violated our trust and stole from us. Had he been honorable he could have finished his career at NWA/DELTA and retired.
American? More likely some old, old, former WWII RAF chap cruising around waiting for his fighter escort?
Idiot could have killed many people.
competently doing what he has to do to provide for his family...
sounds pretty upstanding to me.

You're making a lot of assumptions...you don't know his motivation. And piloting a commercial aircraft illegally doesn't sound "upstanding" to me.
He was not exactly a "fake airline pilot" as the headline indicates. He was and is an experience pilot. I know of several pilots that have lost FAA licenses due to failure to report a DUI/DWI arrest...in order to feed their family, put their kids through school, etc, they have had to do what needed to be done to get a flying job elsewhere. In this case, what does stealing from the union have to do with his flying ability. I understand the reg about "upstanding moral character" but any airline pilot knows that would eliminate half of the industry if truly imposed!
Oh common guys we all know of gifted people who can do the job a damnn site better than some with the paper tickets...
Absolutely true boy....So many years ago, I was one of them... When necessity obliges... You know... All those guys, enjoy good health and are professional
Yup..agreed
