UAL pilot a fake doctor

[SiuDude]

Seems like this guy's been suspended from United for claiming to be a cardiologist. Anyone know him? Did he also claim to be a firefighter by chance?

Is he really a pilot? Frank Abagnale?

I hear Tim "The Milkman" Martins is his illegitimate kid...

Looks like more than a few people will be losing their jobs and/or being demoted/censured for not doing their due diligence. My wife is a healthcare C exec for a fortune 500 and when I showed her the article she was stunned that he "the MD" could have gotten by for so long. There are credentialing services that hospitals and healthcare organizations are "supposed" to use (regardless of the size) to verify that MD's are who/what they are before they get privileges to practice medicine at the respective facility/office etc. Wonder if Carl Handratty will be placing the cuffs on him when he runs for the south of france.

When approaching the gate to check in, the gate agent asked him "are you operating?" Guess he took it seriously.
