UAL pilot a fake doctor

[ultrarunner]

It appears like he was making a ton of money off of these lectures and seminars.

Good thing. If he saved it, he'll need it, since he just flushed his flying career.

Look everyone, its an innocent mistake. It started like this:

Him: Trust me baby, I'm a doctor.
Her: Really? What Kind?
Him: I'm one that knows all about the heart.
Her: Prove it!

And so he kinda' did.

There are pilots out there that get into this field. I've even thought about putting an advanced degree to use doing this - but telling people you are an M.D. and Ph.D. is just f---ed up.

It sounds like at first the medical community made certain assumptions about him which he may have simply not corrected. Next thing you know, he's a cardiac surgeon.
