Maybe not at the Regionals but my last job interview (last month) for a major corporate flight department did exactly that. I've got 9,200 hours, with about half of that PIC, and the Director of Aviation randomly pulled logbook 2 of 4 for some very specific questions. If you had not actually been to that field, you would have flubbed it.

Years ago, the FAA came out to investigate a case of a student pilot on a solo at a class D airport getting all flubbed up and causing SWA to have to go around. The feds compared the student logbook to the instructor and for some reason the times were greater in the instructor log for the same dual flights. The feds pulled all the student logbooks of that instructor. Same issue. About 800 hours padded. I worked at the school and watched it go down.
