But it's a free country, your logbook, and your career. Suit yourself. You don't have to comply with established custom in the airline industry, you can establish your own trends.
I definitely agree. Unfortunately, some of my logbook was pretty sloppy when I first started. I didn't really view it as a professionalism item, just something cool to log flight time. I can't really go back and fix the colors, white out and terrible handwriting now. Which is why I personally will be printing mine because that's the most professional thing I can do at this point. I have no problems explaining that and from my past it hasn't rattled any employers yet. I was just playing devils advocate, I guess. Lots of there online logging it that way because most instructors tell you to do so at flight safety. As well as many people getting hired below mins counting on that sim total time.
Sorry to go against the grain. I'm all for the professional image but if the damage is done now. From my experience of mainline apps it doesn't look like it should be a problem if you put it correctly in there.
