Man Posed as Crew Member, Flew for Free 120 Times
The Department of Justice announced the conviction of a man who flew over 100 times for free by pretending to be a crew member. He managed to bypass security checks by falsifying employment information and providing fake badge numbers. Despite working for an airline, he was never a crew member or pilot. The case, involving multiple airlines, is embarrassing for the industry and raises concerns about security protocols. The man’s sentencing will take place on August 25.
