The big tip-off was when the (female) pilot brought a 737 in really hard, more than once. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/Fake-pilots-SpiceJet-suspends-woman-pilot/articleshow/7782644.cms https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2011/03/23/air_india_pilots_bought_fake_licences_57_others_showed_up_for_work_drunk.html See also https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/indian-arrests-reveal-corruption-in-granting-of-pilot-licenses/2011/04/13/AFTaIkvD_story.html I don't understand why countries with generally smart people feel the need to fake it, especially when it harms the reputations of other professionals where lives are at stake, such as in medicine. Just seen where the UK and EU have banned Paki Air. Let's hope ICAO follows suit. https://www.ibtimes.com/eu-uk-ban-pakistani-international-airlines-six-months-over-pilots-fake-license-3003954 Edited July 2, 2020 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woman driver, we all know what they are like There was a case in my local hospital in the UK, where a person practicing as a nurse had moved from Zimbabwe where they had only worked as a cleaner in a hospital. It was years before she got caught. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,384 #8 July 4, 2020 After Asiana Airlines Flight 214 (in 2013) flew into the seawall for no good reason, I found this: https://directorblue.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-low-down-on-korean-airliner-pilots.html While it is about Korea/Asiana, I'm sure it is not an isolated case.
