In late 1986 Republic Airlines was in a hurry to hire, and in all likely hood "expedited" the process. There was a pilot to be known here as Scary Jerry who had a hazy background..His pilot certificates were from light aircraft flying at base aeroclubs. And his complex time logged was KC10 time......He succeeded in fooling the system cause he was a boom operator for those hours he logged and hit a seam in the hiring dynamic now Scary J never fully owned up to this BUT he never checked out as captain, and was "carried" by the rest of the crew on virtually every flight. He was fired for misconduct after a long and abysmal career. Somehow he fooled a FSDO and at least one airline human resources dept. And managed to get by in a training environment if only by hook crook and skin of teeth.
