Fake airline pilot traveled in cockpit
He was improper an the airline pilot and he flew in the cockpit but, he was arrested at TRN. He got fake airline application, fake identify card, fake airline uniformed, too.

That's reminded me about the movie "Catch me if you can". He flew old Pan American Airways but, he bought a fake uniformed. He was too young.

If you liked the movie, read the book. It's much better than the movie, and makes moire sense since it was written over 20 years before the movie came out, when some of the things he was doing were way more likely to work than they are today.

Example: Many of the Las Vegas <> Grand Canyon flights.
It also depends on the country.
