I'm not saying you rat people out and give out emails Doug.. it was a poor attempt at sarcasm lol.

I figure if someone is dumb enough to post on a major website about how to cheat the system.. they are probably dumb enough to get caught.. but there are other ways they get caught as well, I've seen it at my company.. and it doesn't go well for the person. Then there are others that skate by with a logbook full of crapola.. Do ya feel lucky?

I've seen these posts pop up time to time over the years and they always get like 10,000 views from interested newbies looking to "build" time.. "hey guys, umm, do airlines really check everything in your log book cuz I umm, have a friends cousins brother who maybe, uhh, kinda put some things in there that might.. uhh be slightly umm "inaccurate" totally by mistake though .. "

Why don't you just come out and say it... "If I put a crapload of fake flight time in my log book will I get caught in an airline interview?"

We all know that is the real question they are wanting to ask lol.

Now maybe this was actually a legitimate question for whatever reason... but it certainly fits the "profile" of that type of question.
