Just google search Delta first officer Fatima and see the first link for LinkedIn.. Reads like a sob story, because Pakistan has female pilots in both the civilian airliners and military jets. Anytime someone says they were fired for being a female, and that America freed her shackles, well..........
She wasn't a pilot in the Pakistan Air Force, she learned to fly in the US. I don't have a lot of patience for women in the US howling about how the world is against them, but y'know what? I'm gonna give a woman in Pakistan the benefit of the doubt. They may have female pilots, and Pakistan did have a woman PM (right up till she was blown up) but Pakistan also has girls getting shot because they are requesting basic education for girls.

Hey, as a Female Flier I will giver her props for joining the Pakistani Air Force. But she is a known liar at Express Jet and Delta.
In articles not long ago, while at Flight Safety, she claimed she flew jets. She even has pictures of her in a cockpit with a helmet on, in air claiming she was flying (she was a backseater on an test flight as a Mx observer.) She also had pics of herself standing on the jet, helmet in hand Top Gun style, like she had just finished a mission. There are other pictures of her in the cockpit, in a flight suit even though in later articles she claims she was never allowed to wear a flight suit or "even stand under the wing of a Jet."
She initially claims she was disavowed by her family, flew to the US alone and ended up at a gas station with 2 suitcases and no money and had to call 2 cabs and eventually 911 to get a ride to Flight Safety. Fabricated. She was totally supported by her wealthy parents the entire way. While at ExpressJet, she Interviewed with United and failed. She mad a big stink about it, wrote an inflated sob story to WAI and Delta, won a WAI Delta type and was promptly hired and made a Poster Child "see we hire minorities!"
I know some of the highest people in WAI and they were furious after they discovered this deception
Sorry to be B!tchy, stuff like this just drives me up the wall.

The sim has ERAU all over it and they announced where they did this stupid sim recreation.
It was stupid for the school to do this. Of course, they probably thought they could pull it off without going full retard.
There are much better aviation schools around. Places where folks learn what they need to know without the irrational arrogance.
That video reflects poorly on the school. A lot of things reflect poorly on that school.
You boys ain’t fooling no one with your Harvard of the Sky stuff. Any of us who have seen 7 or 8 of your planes following the smart guy across Florida on cross countries know the score.

DAL does have the where with all to pursue and take appropriate action regarding the statement and provision, above the signature line of the DAL App for Employment, regarding false statements being grounds for termination. That is after discussion and deliberation that such action would not draw negative attention
.
But then again, baring any statutes of limitations, if any, DAL may be compelled to scrutinize every application of every employee for mistastements of material facts.
This issue could give rise for all carriers to step up their due diligence to avoid similar embarrassment.

That is very interesting.
Pakistan does have a female fighter pilot: and it ain't Fatima.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayesha_Farooq
In fact, this one became a fighter pilot in 2013, after our gal was already at Delta.
I found elsewhere that Fats called herself their first squadron commander. Very interesting.

Some people should really dig into this sort of crap. A little self-aggrandizement on a resume is one thing, but this appears to be much more.
