Most FOs I know think the old Captain is stupid and the Captains think the FOs know nothing.
They are probably both right in this case.

I'm amazed that no one noticed until just a few months ago. People are sure to look at documents a little closer now!

Headline should read: "Pilot With Fake License". He obviously was a pilot, his skills were real, just the piece of paper was fake. I know lots of people with pilot's licenses that aren't pilots. I guess you could say that they are the "fake pilots".

Hmmmmm, interesting comments that reflect our careless attitudes in our present society.
I wonder if we would be so glib if an incident had occured. I guess that is what keeps our lawyers happy.
