There was also the chap, back in the 'old days' when Singapore 'hosted' applicants and their families, who applied for a 747 post with SA.
He turned up with licence and log book, complete with current 747 rating, stepped into the simulator at Changi and promptly stalled it on take off.
Lots of head scratching by the Training Captain and the sim engineers who concluded that it must have been a sim fault. Sent said applicant away for a couple of days full board in Singapore whilst the sim was checked. Second attempt resulted in the same outcome as the first.
During the stunned silence the applicant threw his hands up and admitted that he had forged all the documents and just wanted some free time in Singapore!
How true the story is I will leave up to you but it does make a good yarn!
