The simplest reality check an interviewer will perform is SE + ME = TT. If that equation does not hold up, things are going to go downhill.
The usual deal with airlines is they want a breakdown of:
- PIC, but excluding dual received OR given. This would be your actual flying time with no instruction occuring.
- SIC
- Dual Given
- Dual Received
There's no particular way they should add up, but a very high amount of dual received might not be good...this could indicate either a very slow learner (who will not complete 121 training) or some very "creative" time building.
Recall that JFK junior had a very large amount of instruction towards his IR, but no rating to show for it...
