I guess all those hours mentioned above were legit! But what about abusing the system? What's the worst case of improper logging of flight hours you have come across?
In recent years I have seen:
Hours logged that were never even flown (guy got the boot when the boss found out)
Hours logged as TRI whilst occupying a seat in the cabin (they said it was legal but difficult to believe)
Hours logged as 'IFR' on the basis of having filed an IFR flight plan even though no IMC was encountered and flight conducted at altitude (not FL).
Hours logged as 'flight time' when occupying the intructor's seat in a flight sim.
Suspicious log book entries - guy was invited to move on.
Am I just unlucky to come across such activity or does it go on a lot ?
PS. Well done those 20,000 hour guys - respect. You must have a flat backside by now and probably several other symptoms of too much time in a goon-bag and being too close to a turbine - pardon! What did you say?

PPS - 40 years and 12,500 accident free hours if I'm allowed to count my SFI time - bit of a slacker
