Front page news report in SA: https://mg.co.za/article/2019-03-01-...ew-under-radar

Quite a complicated story: Not a Walter Mitty, was previously a flight engineer, with valid CPL, then faked his ATPL. This is not legally required to fly as co-pilot, but was was a condition of employment.

Came to light after investigation into an over-speed incident: Incident: SAA A346 over Switzerland on Nov 6th 2018, overspeed, dual ADR failure
