Log book hours are in my opinion over rated. Why would you really bother fudging hours?? I once conducted an AFR on a bloke with more than 5000 logged hours, only to find he had became lost on a 50nm navex, although he absolutely GREASED them on every landing. When i quizzed him during the debrief he advised me that nearly every one of those hours were logged in a glider tug!! So to me personally hours logged don't mean much, you can tell before the guy (or gal) even fires the thing up whether he can fly an aircraft, just in the way they handle and prepare themselves in the cockpit.
