I have whole years where they have no records on me at all and I can't tell if any of my time is recorded - from back when they transitioned from the old mainframe systems in the late '90s to the 'modern' oracle-based system they use today. Unbelievably, they can't pull a master sortie-by-sortie log on you. Keep your annual printouts!! If you keep a log book, bring it with you to your annual review and compare line-by-line.
I didn't keep a log book after the first few years, but even comparing just that to my master print out shows several errors and omissions in the first few years alone, so you're probably likely very right. Most of my friends couldn't believe how few hours I had as a fly-only guy...
