By AFPMore by this AuthorJohannesburg,A pilot who worked for South African Airways for more than 20 years was arrested on Monday, police said, over allegations he flew large passenger jets without an advanced commercial flying licence. William Chandler was recently forced to resign after the airline said he had been flying without the proper documentation. PASSENGER PLANESSouth African Airways (SAA) has said Chandler claimed to possess an Airline Transport Pilot License -- an advanced licence permitting him to fly large passenger planes. But he only had a commercial pilot license, which is for small aircraft and requires far less training and experience. The crew were grounded and evaluated in line with safety procedures, and at that point the subterfuge was discovered, the airline said.
