Indian Pilots found to have fake licenses
NEW DELHI (AP) — Indian authorities say they will check the licenses of all airline pilots operating in India after at least four of them were found to be flying aircraft using fake documents.
India's top aviation official Bharat Bhushan says two were arrested for using fake certificates to gain licenses, including a pilot with national carrier Air India who falsified his qualifications. The other two pilots are still being investigated.
Bhushan said Monday that the licenses and other documents of 500 airline pilots have been checked so far. A total of 4,000 pilots will be checked.
He says the second pilot was arrested last week after damaging an aircraft while landing and a scrutiny of her papers showed she had used fake documents to get a license

Ramil...LOL...and true!
Must be those ISI agents who did this.
Damn, and we have plenty of them here.... Now i wonder of the plenty specialists and surgeons around, will they cure me or let me fly???
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..that was a good one..
That reminds me of this...
which is really funny, until you hear the guys screams, and wonder 'what would I do....'
I tried a few flying lessons.Found out i wasn't meant for flying.I tend to fall asleep while flying.LOL.
The real worth of a Pilot is how he deals with emergencies , not takeoff or landing - that can be done using automated systems..
shameless creatures are every where, now the authorities here can check the actual profile of Project Managers highly overpaid?
polkadots, no, they actually call them Native Americans.
The rest of the world calls them Indians.
I can understand an American's obsession with India, They call thier Locals by that name!
Underpaid said :
No one gives a damn about your country - but u where too eager to post about it , dint ur Indian boss pay u on time
Oh please guys... get over it. No one gives a damn about your country. Its the content of the article that i was intersted in. I was thinking more like "how can people put others lives in danger"
But your support to those fake pilots tells me how things go down in India!!!!
Not long time ago since I've read a forum topic that involved fake Indian pilot, do they know how to distinguish fake from real?
The whole world is concerned on few , Brazil, Russia , China and India. I wouldnt blame them ;)
Another american guy behind Indians..... I do not know why these guys are so concerned about Indians....
India - the country every tom dick and harry care. We are honoured lol
Jai Hind we r proud of it
Everyone in the HR department needs sacking for a start...
GOOD idea (maybe someone should have thought of it sooner.)
