ICYMI: Passenger jet pilot arrested in South Africa over 'fake licence' via SABCNewsOnline

William Chandler was recently forced to resign after the airline said he had been flying without the proper documentation.Police said Chandler was charged with forgery.South African Airways has said Chandler claimed to possess an Airline Transport Pilot License — an advanced licence permitting him to fly large passenger planes.

But he only had a commercial pilot license, which is for small aircraft and requires far less training and experience. SAA has not revealed how long he had flown under false pretences, the number of passengers he flew or the types of aircraft he had piloted.SAA has said the falsehood came to light last November when an Airbus A340-600 plane he was co-piloting to Germany encountered turbulence and he had to perform a recovery manoeuvre.

The crew were grounded and evaluated in line with safety procedures, and at that point the subterfuge was discovered, the airline said.This entry was posted on 11 Mar 2019,09:52PM at 9:52 PM and is filed under

Poor South African savers ruined by VBS collapseFear spread through poor rural communities across South Africa when VBS, a regional bank that catered to poorer customers, collapsed. Proudly EFF 👍🏻 “For the poor people” In the case of African Bank, they established Good and Bad bank... In this case all was killed. What I find fascinating is that the EFF, the party of the poor, have not accused, harassed or slapped anyone regarding this theft from the poor at VBS. In fact, the only people they have attacked is the SARB who had the misfortune of bringing the matter to the public domain.
