Former Air Canada pilot charged with fraud after allegedly flying without required license for 16 years.
Geoffrey Wall, 59, was arrested and charged with fraud and forgery offenses after police alleged he flew as an Air Canada captain from 2009 to 2025 without the required airline transport pilot license. Police say Wall commanded over 900 flights using fraudulent credentials, though Air Canada stated he held a valid commercial pilot license and passed all training requirements.
