surely in this day and age every reputable operator has a record of hours flown by all there pilots per year and total online.How about a global record of all airline pilots hrs per year to be submitted to a global licensing authority. Who in turn keeps track of all licensed pilots and there ratings and actual hours flown. Might not be able to stop people building hrs with there pen in the early days of there career but would make sure they were honest once they enter the airlines. Pretty simple to do! sorry I forgot we have 100's of Civil Aviation authorities that can't agree on jack ****.
