Looks like an ex-Qatar Airways FO was arrested for supplying false documents, allowing him to get a job flying as a Captain at Sri Lankan!
If rumors are true, it was the same one who used to walk around with 3 bar epaulettes in his shirt pocket, claimed to fly for the German Air Force and had tea with the Amir for being the first expat to buy land at West Bay.
'Fake' airline pilot held over false papers
I flew with G.B. before he left. Huge ego, small skills and smaller personality.
I believe we have had a few cases in the past and looking at the amount of people that will be required in the future I am sure we will get a few more.
I hope this is a lesson for QR to do background checks on all of our new hires before they start flying! And if any have falsified their details then Qatar Airways should follow what the Sri Lankan’s did and hand them over to the police!
