If you don't have the time when you go in then you'll be kicked out for lying on your application. I would either get the time or cancel the interview making up some excuse.
Are you SURE about that? For every airline? Because that is EXACTLY what I was told they do/did at XJT. It's arithmetic, not rocket science. All you have to do is look at the application date, look in the logbook for the total time on that date. Either the numbers add up or they don't. Takes you all of 20 seconds per applicant. Have a couple interns help and it wouldn't take long at all to figure out who lied on their app and who didn't.
Lets take a step back though... Come on guys, seriously!?
Seriously?! Why would you even put yourself in that position in the first place!? I know its tempting to rush to the regionals as fast as you can but once you play this game a couple of times you'll realize how much voodoo, superstition and nuance plays into airline hiring. If you're flying with the kind of currency that the airlines want anyway, how long is it
really going to take you to get that last 10 or 15 hours? A week? Two? Just suck it up and wait the extra time before hitting submit on the application. That way you can go into the whole process with a clean conscience and with one less potential skeleton in your closet come interview time.
