Also, how does anyone really confirm or prove if someone is volunteering? Does anyone really check this? On the other hand, you can (and under law are required to) check FAA training records.. that is OBJECTIVE and material to the act of being a pilot.
I thought we went over this. I don't confirm or deny anything, because I don't have any evidence. Do you? Also there are other things to consider than "airplane" qualifications. Do you seriously believe that's the only thing people look at when they are hiring somebody? Why would anyone consider hiring a "mystery" pilot? Try to stick to reality.
As for your other question, I imagine it's quite easy to make a phone call to whoever you volunteer with to confirm, just like they call your references.. But I don't personally know, because I don't get paid to check other people's backgrounds.
A question I would pose to you: How does anyone know the hours in your logbook are genuine? Do they investigate every single hour you've flown to make darn sure a hobbs meter was turning for you to log those hours?? Don't over-complicate this lol
