One airline I know simply writes to your present employer, without your permission, and asks them outright if you are who you say you are, with the experience you claim and incident accident free.
Sadly, once again, the pilot community have brought this upon themselves by being dishonest.
???? What??
it should be automatic (and compulsory by law) that when you leave an airline they must give you a certificate with the hours flown and a no accident letter.
After all we do, all the risk we have on a daily basis, discretion etc.. you still say we did it ourselves??? Unbelievable. Wake up people
