They are probably both right in this case.

I'm amazed that no one noticed until just a few months ago. People are sure to look at documents a little closer now!

Headline should read: "Pilot With Fake License". He obviously was a pilot, his skills were real, just the piece of paper was fake. I know lots of people with pilot's licenses that aren't pilots. I guess you could say that they are the "fake pilots".

I wonder if we would be so glib if an incident had occured. I guess that is what keeps our lawyers happy.
