The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that Peel Regional Police have charged a former Air Canada pilot with seven criminal counts related to allegations that he flew passenger jets with a forged captain's licence. The Globe's Eric Atkins writes that Geoffrey Wall of Barrie, Ont., faces charges that include fraud, uttering forged documents, counterfeit possession and public mischief. Police allege Mr. Wall, 59, flew tens of thousands of passengers on more than 900 flights for 17 years as a pilot in charge, a position for which he was not licensed by Transport Canada. Allegedly using forged documents, he commanded Air Canada's biggest Boeing jets -- the 767, 777 and 787 -- and earned $2.9-million while doing so, police allege. Mr. Wall retired last year after 27 years at Air Canada, before the police investigation began. The probe began four months ago, after a Transport Canada check in 2025 discovered Mr. Wall's permits were not in order, police said at a news conference on Tuesday. Although he was a licensed commercial pilot, he did not have an Airline Transport Pilot Licence and was not allowed to fly commercial passengers. The airline said it has audited its pilot group and found no other violations.
