A former British Airways pilot was sentenced to prison for faking his flying experience. A source told The Times that there were suspicions after he pressed a button. The pilot faked training certificates and claimed to have flown more than 1,500 hours as a captain. A former British Airways pilot was sentenced to a year in jail for faking his flying experience. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and court documents seen by The Times show that he was sentenced to a year in prison on Monday after pleading guilty to four counts of fraud. According to court documents seen by The Times, the pilot lied about his qualifications while applying for a job at the regional airline. Between April 2016 and March 2018, he was employed as a pilot by two airlines, one of which was owned by Aer Lingus. According to court documents, he was with each carrier for a year. A source told The Times that officials at BA CityFlyer became suspicious after an incident on the ground in Switzerland when the pilot pressed a button. The CAA took legal action after investigating him. The pilot worked for a previous employer, Hangar 8 Management, which operates the same jet as BA CityFlyer. According to court documents quoted by The Times, he had lied about holding a private pilot's licence. British Airways said the pilot was certified and fully qualified. The airline said that the case was related to incorrect information provided in references. The fully qualified pilot was suspended and an investigation launched after BA CityFlyer became aware of discrepancies in his employment record. The prosecution and sentence imposed by the Civil Aviation Authority show that they are serious about this type of crime. We will take all the necessary steps to maintain the integrity of the pilot.
