We all know that people sometimes enhance the truth. I just read some figures stating up to 50% of people lie on their resumes. These include overstating skills, extending length of employment, falsifying degrees, exaggerating achievement's, increasing former salaries, inflating titles, enhancing foreign language skills, fake addresses, amplifying GPA and more.
Probably if you are applying for a paper pusher it is not a big deal. I'm not advocating lying, just stating more or less no one will be harmed.
Not so much if you are one of the 200 Chinese pilots who faked their flying experience. It's one thing saying you are an expert when you are only a novice on say computer software, it's another to add flying time that does not "accord with reality". That's just plain scary. Seems like they resolved the issue by sending them back up for more flying time. Sure they just announced this discovery but it happened in 2008 so more then likely, I guess we are safe.
