>SAA said it discovered William Chandler's paperwork was forged after a "reportable incident" during a flight from South Africa to Germany.
>South African newspaper the Mail & Guardian (M&G) reported that Mr Chandler worked as a flight engineer at the state-owned SAA before getting a job as a pilot in 1994.
>A safety officer at SAA has also been suspended for allegedly trying to cover up the forgery.
>"What seems to have happened here is that the pilot would have taken what we have issued to them... and would have changed those documents to give an impression that they are in possession of an ATPL," said Phindiwe Gwembu, an SACAA spokesperson.
