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.
