Logging time
How does everybody log their time? By flight? By day? By Trip? By month?
At some point I will switch to electronic but until then I'm still using the old fashioned paper logbook. Tired of logging leg by leg and wondering what's acceptable.

If you're "eventually" going to go electronic then just do it now and log leg by leg.
When you get around to catching up your paper logbooks to the one on your phone, then fine. But there's no reason to keep banging your head on a wall waitig for the day you'll pull the trigger.
Why waste more time and effort now when you've already made the decision to go electronic? Go electronic, put it on your phone and be done with it.

I always do leg by leg ever since my first flight.. With logbook ten, I copy and paste my schedule from Flica or Crew Trac. All I have to do is update my actual times, tail # and so on. If you do leg by leg, it will be easier when you transfer to electronic especially if you need to fill out airline apps, 8710 or get a summary.

Why do you need to catch up your paper logbooks? You can just print out the new electronic logbook and bring that with you to the interview along with your old logbooks no?
For those that are completely converting, what are you doing with all your signoffs?

I'm at the last airline I'll ever be at (unless the largest airline in the world shrinks to 1/2 its size and they raise the retirement age to 70) and I haven't logged for years. You guys at legacies are still keeping logbooks?
