(CNN) -- The angry Frenchman came upon an audacious solution when he couldn't fly business class, a plan worthy of "Catch Me If You Can." Told the section was full, Philippe Jeannard just went into the cockpit and pretended to be crew, even dressing the part, police allege. Unlike Leonardo DiCaprio in the film based on the true story of a successful con artist posing as a pilot, Jeannard was caught right away at Philadelphia International Airport and is now being held on $1 million bail, Philadelphia police said Friday. The 61-year-old later remarked that he "hated Americans," said police, who are still ascertaining his exact motive.
