If, as you say, the error rate is 1 in 10,000, then consider this: according to APC there are 65000 pilots in the legacy and LCC category. That means 6 or 7 of them have bogus information in their file. Add to that the other 50,000 pilots flying cargo and regional. If what the FAA says is correct, there are around 12 pilots in those airlines who have erroneous information.
Again, I'm not trying to change your mind. But do you really want to be one of those who has an error?
IMHO, if I were submitting an application to a company, I would want to be sure. If you don't, then Do Not check your records. That is your call.
