Centaurus,
Do you honestly think that the RFDS are inviting pilots to "pen in I/F hours that they don't have",to get a job,wake up shaggs !
No offence but the idea is crazy. I don't work for the RFDS, although I'd like to,and I have all there requirements except for the 200 hours night,and the last thing I'm going to do is pen in hours that I haven't got to get a job there,or anywhere else for that matter.
I believe a check flight is the best way to verify that a pilot has got the hours that is written in the log book. At the end of the day you are only kidding yourself,no one else. Considering the type of flying the RFDS do,experience is everything when operating single pilot IFR at night and in sh!tty WX,hence this is why they ask for these requirements.
In a nut shell,if you don't have the requirements,don't apply !, and if you are still not happy,ring them up,or write to them expressing you feelings,I'm sure they will come around !
