Dallas Pokornik, a 33-year-old from Toronto, is accused of posing as a commercial pilot for four years, using a fake employee ID to secure hundreds of free flights on multiple airlines. He was arrested in Panama in January after being indicted for wire fraud, pleading not guilty upon extradition. Court documents reveal he falsely claimed to be an employee of a Toronto-based airline to obtain tickets normally reserved for pilots. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.
