I just called up a CFII/A&P/IA/ATP rated airman. I needed "something" from him. The conversation went really strange. Midway through he said "Look, I live and breathe airplanes, all you're asking for is paperwork. I have a pen. It has plenty of ink that flows well. What do you need?" By the end of the conversation He had offered to give me endorsements/sign offs pretty much over the phone. He works for a 135 operation and needed a ride to a city to get to work and told me "Anything you need can be accomplished on a flight over there, I have the pen. I can make it happen". Yes he point blank offered endorsements, to forge time in my logbook and/or maintenance sign offs if I, a PPL holder took him to work in a city about a 4 hour flight away. Read the log books closely folks, he was very comfortable expressing all this to me and to be honest, it was tempting to take him up on it. I got the impression this was business as usual for him. I wasn't asking for a checkout in a 172 or a tire replaced. I was asking for at least $4,000 worth of "work". We've never even met or know of each other, I found him looking around on the internet for a guy in the area. I checked the airman database, his credentials check out. I know around the hangar of some "buddy does my annuals" type deals but this was a new one for me.
