NEW: A former captain flying for Air Canada allegedly flew hundreds of flights without the proper license, officials said on Monday.
The pilot who had been promoted to captain, lacked the mandatory airline transport pilot licence (ATPL) for the position. Immediately upon Air Canada’s discovery of this, the individual was removed from active duty, and the company voluntarily reported the matter to Transport Canada.
Canada's Peel Regional Police said a fraud investigation led investigators to the pilot. The probe started after a random certification check turned up inconsistencies, officials said.
Air Canada said in a statement, "Safety was not compromised by this incident because all pilots at Air Canada undergo mandatory recurrent training every six months to validate their flying competency, including a flight check with a certified Transport Canada check-pilot every 12 months. However, appropriate licensing is an essential layer of the airline industry’s multi-layered approach to safety, so Air Canada has undertaken an audit of its pilot group and found no other instances of non-compliance."

Unfortunately this is the sort of drivers we have on the roads in Fiji now. Lack of common sense and think they’re in the right.
On the other note, buses are just as bad, picking and dropping wherever they want.
