Seriously? Isn't that the point of certificate actions? Falsification or intentional misrepresentation of pilot qualifications or logbooks? While I can't think of anything specific at the moment I do recall a couple of newsworthy articles about pilots who claimed certificates they did not have.
Isn't that what happened here? The FO presented a falseified training record that did not include all required PRIA records. I would expect (Hope?) the FAA would have done something if they had found out about this guys falsified history prior to this accident. Isn' the whole point of the FAA to ensure rules are followed by pilots and certificate holders?
