Nice! Hilarious and definitely Three Stooges material in this cluster.
Just get an airline shirt, bag, bogus ticket, tell em you hate Americans, and hop onboard. Now you know the proper procedure to jump seat.
Come to think of it though; he did have all the qualifications necessary to be an Air Frawnsaay peelot..oui..oui!

Pilot imposter
Man impersonating pilot reached plane's cockpit at Philly airport, police say | Fox News
At least one of the multiple *layers* of security caught this imposter. I'm assuming that the cockpit crew were the ones who asked for the proper credentials and discovered the ruse.

I'm wondering how this guy was authorized to ride on the JS before he even got down the jet bridge... Pretty sure you still can't ride in the JS on an international carrier. So how or why the gate agent let the guy down is a question I'd like answered.

Apparently he paid for a seat, and when he didn't get upgraded, he went with Plan B.

Does anything good every happen in Philly?
Jernnard reportedly ended up in the cockpit jumpseat behind the captain but was escorted off the plane after when he failed to produce proper credentials, police told the station.

Wonder if this has anything to do with the CASS system having a hiccup yesterday....couldn't utilize the KCM yesterday morning due to the system not working with my airline... Captain contacted company and they had already had several calls from commuters unable to jumpseat to work on OALs.... Still, doesn't make up for the captain's faux paux..... TSA is gonna have a field day with this one....

There was only one layer he tried to go through. The flight crew. They did their job. He was a normal ticketed passenger. He never told anyone he was a "pilot" until he got on the airplane. So I think everyone did what was supposed to be done.
