Fake Hours

[rovespier]

The "authorities" (as you guys are referring to) are not responsible for your logbook and hours, they merely do a general check of the total when you declare your hours on every successive LPC. They cannot -and are not supposed to- check if you logged your PICUS as PIC or all your flight as PIC when you were acting as a F/O. They cannot check if you have added up incorrectly the totals on every page, or if you have added 15 minutes (by mistake) on a night total.
This is each pilot's responsibility, and even if you do log everything correctly, sometimes you apply to an airline governed by different rules (JCAB for ex) and they count them differently, so your log gets audited and you can explain all the differences. Thats it, and its not called fake hours. Experienced WB captains log their whole augmented crew flight as PIC when for some other regulator this is not supposed to be so.

Now, if you just got your T/R and after 3 months you present 1000 logged on this type, or you log PIC on a jet without having a PIC endorsement on your license, then someone had better notice!! And if they don't then they shouldn't be doing screenings, just open up a door and hire everyone that walks in first.

Our friend NegativeClimb is probably lying, and if not, he is referring to light aircraft hour logging that is not really important in the real airline world.
Nobody cares if you have 1250 instead of 250 in a C-152 just because you could afford the package. The higher the total in your log, the more important the quality of hours in it.
So don't make a big issue out of a rather childish post, it concerns entry level positions only.
Correct me if I am wrong

Ha ha ha, that haughty arrogant piece of work from ozzie land. Heard he conned KAL into a position as 747 classic and then got upgraded onto the 744. He, ricky PNG, bill freewheelie ....Well people like maui and jon freaksome know about it but kept quiet to protect own countrymen.

Well freaksome was billy freewheelie's sim partner during 777 training! So how can he dob his buddy? Maui was in audit, lambasting the koreans for protecting their pilots for bad practices! Yet he turned a blind eye to the parker penned command hours of his countrymen ricky,sheepshaggy, billy freewheely, etc. What hypocrisy. Freaksome was assistant CP, adviser this and that, all the time helping con artists getting a foothold in KAL. Recently a few got caught but there are many others who got away with it. How about halftrack or halfback who parker penned his " swiss air hours"; well he dropped the " swiss air " thingy when a former swiss air guy called him out.

I remembered someone asking that vital question but got no decent answer: will the insurance companies refuse to pay in case of an accident whereby the pilot/plots were later found to have faked hours/ licences/ experience in the course of their thorough investigations?

The contract world is definitely the wild wild west of pilot quals. Both Asian carriers i flew for seemed to do a pretty good job filtering out the chaff during line training. Good, but probably not perfect. The high dollars promised in China really brought out the chaff. This subject comes up every now and then on PPRUNE. I am always shocked that their are a few pilots who defend fakers. Any pilot that defends one, is fake himself. No pilot that spent 5-35 years of time and effort to become a real pilot would defend some douchebag Parker Penned Hero. PERIOD.
