Is there a difference between...
Padding your log book or buying a twin and perfoming holding out to the public type flying, to get your multi time on someone elses dime?
I had two partners in a 300 series Cessna that were doing 134 1/2 trips. I finally bought one partner out so I could concentrate on sticking it royally to the other one. That EX partner is now selling tavern supplies for a living.
But back onto the subject of padding...not advocating it, but owning your own plane is a good cover for padding your log book. In theory you don't run into the problem that localizer11 mentioned in his DE story. It's still wrong.
I think if people are splitting time in a twin, it's the same as padding in my book, even if there is a legal way to log it.
If some guy came to an interview with 200 hours of safety pilot time in his log book as his only multi after getting the multi rating, I know places that would not consider this applicant for hire. Even a guy that was being paid to part 91 in the right seat in a B-100 King Air. Seen it happen...but that is the subject of a different post.
