South African Airways Pilot Exposed for 20-Year Forgery
A shocking case of forgery has rocked South African Airways, revealing that pilot William Chandler falsified documents to obtain an Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL), a critical certification for captaining international flights.
According to sources, Chandler's deception went undetected for two decades, during which he flew numerous routes, including between South Africa and Frankfurt, carrying thousands of passengers.
The truth unraveled in 2018 after a flight incident prompted an investigation. Authorities discovered that Chandler had never taken the required exams for his supposed ATPL, raising serious concerns about aviation safety and regulatory oversight.
Chandler's actions have sparked widespread concern, with many questioning how such a significant breach went undetected for so long.
The incident highlights the need for robust verification processes and strict adherence to safety protocols in the aviation industry.
