They have no PRIA equivalent. But they are VERY good at wading through documents and logbooks and reading between the lines.
Conventional wisdom is to never lie to an airline, because if they find out you'll be 100% fired and blacklisted from all but the worst 121. There have been cases where they found out years later... most folks don't need that hanging over their head.
Don't lie to the FAA either, they will put you in prison.
