Hopefully the board would investigate via a call to your squadron supervision back home if the question arises.
It is interesting. A great deal of business aviation operators are the same way. A Chief Pilot could run a small one airplane flight department for a company and everything that goes along with it (which is a great deal of hard work and management).
Do you think the interviewers do not see it that way also? Even if it is ones job title at a current company? I would say, if it's ones official title at the company they work for, they could rightfully and accurately list Chief Pilot on a resume. I could be totally wrong though. Anyhow, back on topic! I am sure it was a very rare (and an obvious embellishment in that case) occurrence that the interview Captain was referring to. If one is honest, it shows though, if they are not, I am sure it also shows.
