loc,
I don't want to pick on anyone but I wouldn't pay too much attention to what dnomyer says. He seems to have a lot of "opinions". Including this from another thread:
fakers 
did fake some hours, offcourse 80 percent of the students does it, if we sit backseat on a flight, offcourse we log it! if u believe in youreself, and if u think youre a good pilot few hours doesent matter. i was teaching for a while myself, and i saw students who faked many and many. and now they are on b777 or other airplanes, but the time has come that the organisations need to do something. specially to Indians , they are the biggest threat! its ok to fake small amount, but to pay for the ratings without any experience is dangerous.
so...ummm....yeah. Draw your own conclusions on that one.
