Hello I have been out of corporate flying for 3 years but I am eager to rejoin. I am curios if there is a “checks and balances” approach to the way that corporate flight departments weed through falsifications that pilots may make on resumes and or logbooks? I know of a couple accidents through either cargo or even part 121 operators where the pilots had falsified information about their training records and had the company’s known about the training deficiencies I believe the accidents could have been prevented. I do however feel that extra costs to corporate flight departments is not the solution and hope that issue can be resolved in some way.

Most operators should be aware, but the first compliance deadline to sign your operation up (2 or more aircraft) is September 8th— a week from today.  This includes  Part 91 operators that operate two or more aircraft.
