A man who pretended to be a flight crew member in order to get free or low-cost flights in and out of Los Angeles County airports, which he would then sell to “clients” who would pay up to $2,000 for a year of flying, pleaded guilty Wednesday to a federal wire fraud offense.

Gilbert Myers Jr., 38, of Atlanta, Georgia, entered his plea to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison. U.S. District Judge Dean D. Pregerson scheduled an April 30 sentencing hearing.
