If one is hiring a driver he is tested thoroughly for his skill and knowledge regardless of what piece of paper he is holding to show that he can drive.
Don't airlines test pilots thoroughly before hiring them ? Any airline who hires persons who turn out to be unfit are equally responsible for the risks they expose the passengers to.
