Questions have been raised regarding the fraud as pilots are required to refresh their licenses annually.
A senior South African Airways pilot has been asked to resign from the airline after it was found that he had flown commercial flights for more than 20 years with fraudulent paperwork.
This raised alarm bells, according to insiders, as other pilots who joined the airline with Chandler in January 1994 became captains around 2005. “SAA suffered actual financial prejudice as a result of claims he made for over a decade,” said Tlali. Questions have been raised regarding the fraud as pilots are required to refresh their licenses annually in a process that involves operating a simulator, physical exams, and submitting their licenses to an external examiner.
