Flight Attendant Faked Pilot ID for Free Flights | Vancouver News
Description
A former flight attendant from Toronto, Dallas Pokornik, just pleaded guilty to a brazen four-year scheme of faking a pilot’s ID to ride free on U.S. flights — even trying to sneak into cockpits. With no real pilot license, he exploited airline perks reserved for pilots, until an employee caught his fake badge with a future expiration date. Now facing up to 20 years in prison, a $250K fine, and restitution including to a Hawaiian airline, Pokornik avoided trial by taking a plea deal after being indicted, arrested in Panama, and extradited. Sentencing is set for December 8th.
