I had the job of hiring many many pilots in XXXX over a 12 year period on to large jets, perhaps looked at maybe 7-800 pilots from all over the world and their logbooks.Faked and/or false logbook entries were common.The evidence always come to me in the SIM where flying skills never matched the logbook.Many entries were easy to spot as fake, sometimes the hours on a page didnt even add up properly.This is a serious industry wide problem and if someone is willing to conduct logbook background checks for a reasonable fee it can be stopped.Take a random page then track down the aircraft logs in detail its not that hard, just takes a little time, then publish that pilots details on the internet, it will soon stop.
