Catch him if you can. A former flight attendant posed as a commercial pilot to score hundreds of free flights in a con similar to those by “Catch Me If You Can” crook Frank Abagnale. Toronto-born Dallas Pokornik, 34, copped to fraud charges Thursday as he admitted to using a “fictitious” ID card to receive “travel benefits, including airline tickets that are reserved for pilots” between January 2020 and October 2024, according to his plea agreement seen by CBC.
