Swedish pilot flew commercial jets for 13 years...

...without a license !

Het Nieuwsblad - Piloot vliegt dertien jaar met vals brevet


rough translation

41 year old Swede got busted in Schiphol, just before departure of an Correndon Airlines Boeing 707 flight to Ankara, on the grounds that he doesn't have a commercial license.

He has flown for several airlines, all across the world, racked up 10 000 hours... but only has a regular flight permit.. that had expired long time ago...And he had managed to fly commercial with a commercial permit he had made himself..


upon arrest he appeared to be relieved that the lie was over





Wow, that's gonna make for some embarresing talks in several HR departments...

After 10,000 hours, he's probably better than a kid with a fresh pilot's license and no non-learning hours.

We see, almost weekly, people getting busted for practicing medicine & dentistry without licenses. One guy was a plastic surgeon at a fancy medical suite who actually did top-notch work!

On the flip side, having a license doesn't necessarily mean someone is qualified.

But I'd much rather fly with a non-licensed pilot than have serious medical procedures performed by a non-licensed doctor.

See my logic in there?

Word has it fluffer was his real profession. I've even heard of a case where one of those wacky Swedes pretended to be a pediatrician. All that magnetism up by the poles makes 'em do crazy things.

Well...with a botched medical procedure, you have a chance of survival if you can get to another doc in time. No such thing as jumping to another plane...

it's not the magnetisme, it's the long, dark winters...
lack of sunlight... to much time on their hands... stuff like that.
