Always put your true hours down, nothing Machiavellian about that.
It is a very small industry and one phone-con to one of your referrees will see the long and short of your claims in short order.
It is true that nearly any experienced CP or check pilot can see the experience of anyone in just a short flight, even to auto suggesting who the person was that taught him, if he is a newbie of sorts.
I ususally take the view that if i have to, 'let someone go', that it was i who made the wrong decision in the first place, and find that difficult to live with for a while. Unless of course the dude really brings himself undone.
I must add a funny story that goes the rounds many anzac days. goes like this, circa 1914.
Recruitment officer to keen recruit. 'so you want to join the light horse do y' son?'.
"Yes sir."
'What experience do you have with horses son?'
"worked on a station for a few years sir"
Box ticked.
Later the young feller was heard recounting to his mate, "silly old coot didna' ask what sort of a station else I'd a had to say it was only a railway station"
