Narrative:

I was under pressure from management and the ZZZ1 FAA FSDO to perform a special ferry flight for maintenance from ZZZ2-ZZZ3. I later discovered the flight was performed illegally because the paperwork (special ferry permit) did not properly document the carriage of 2 passenger on the flight. I also believe that, based on facsimile control number on special ferry permit, that management may have illegally altered the ferry permit without FAA approval.
