We keep track of both flight time and block time in the aircraft logbooks and the company will occasionally double check it.
Hope that clarifies a bit.
ANAS20077, good luck in the interview next week. I can’t tell you if you should take the job or not. That really depends on what your other options are and how willing you are to relocate or commute. I will add that while I enjoyed instructing, I’ve enjoyed this more and the experience so far has been great.
