This is what makes me angry the most. You work overseas in the worst places of the world, in hard conditions, risking your life, and because some as***les falsify their time other expats suffer the consequences!
One of the reasons why I plan on returning home is because these big flight hours in Africa don't seem to be very beneficial beyond a certain number when it comes to finding a job in Canada.
And the worst is that even with a proper letter from the employer and a stamp on the logbook is not enough! It's quite hard for an employer to get a hold of someone over there in Africa who could confirm the flight experience. These companies often barely keep track of their flights, crew... They often don't even use computers, everything is on paper the old way!
