Fake airline pilot 'landed planes at Gatwick'

送信時刻：
 
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) さらに...

Doesn't exactly look like Leonardo Di'Caprio, ehh.

He does, however, look like the guy Leo played in "Catch Me if You Can."

I think he has a medical problem he is papering over. He also has that problem with sticky fingers in respect to charity donations at the ALPA. That should get you on everyone's S list.

What are you talking about, Di Caprio for all his looks could not fly a lawnmover or a wheelbarrow, this guy is the real deal, man. (LIMAO!!!)

He originally flew for Northwest Airlines and became a treasurer for the ALPA MEC whereupon he embezzled a couple of hundred thousand dollars paid by his fellow pilots through assessments to help the (Real) Eastern Air Line pilots back in the mid to late 1980s who went out on strike against Lorenzo. He did time for it. I believe this is not the first time his name has come up for "not telling the truth" in hiss employment. A real piece of work

EVERY NWA pilot knew him in 1985. A lot of us were put in bad standing with the union because OUR assessment checks went straight to his account, not ALPA's. We were a Union shop (still are) and couldn't work if you weren't ALPA member. Funny part is that he was convicted of a felony, for which you can't keep your licenses .
I made one misquote above. This happened in 1993 and he took money from our Seniority Merger fund, not the EAL pilot assessment fund. We paid a lot of assessments back then, they all run together. After he got out of his one year sentence, there was rumor of him flying for Korean Air Lines until they got wind of his "character" and lack of licenses. Always wondered what happened to him...now I know.

The article says he is a former USAF pilot......Due to the lack of info I wonder what ended his flying career there and why he couldn't transition into civil aviation.

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.

Where did you see that, Roland? What I got from the article is that he didn't show up, was sentenced to 3 years because of that, and is still on the loose. They stated it is believed he's left the UK and "The force is working with the Civil Aviation Authority and overseas law enforcers to bring him back to serve his sentence."

Is this the same Michael Fay who was sentenced to public lashing in Singapore for key scratching cars as a teenager back in the late 80's ??!!

American? More likely some old, old, former WWII RAF chap cruising around waiting for his fighter escort?

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!

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.
