Not sure how your airline does it, but with my company, the CA flies the first leg, then we switch off after each two legs. When I was behind on mine, I contacted aircrew records at my company for a print out. They sent back a mish-mash of random records with totals that eventually turned out to be off by a few thousand hours. Be leery of company records, especially if they're coming from a certain regional based in ATL.
LOL.. well I'm sure it's been done - showing up with the tiny logbooks.
At my regional, sometimes we switch at the outstation, sometimes alternate legs, sometimes do roundtrips - I've got most of that info written down.
Just wanted to have the quickest way to get it more organized and if possible, avoid hours of writing or entering flights.. especially if I get an interview and they don't even look at it (I've heard some have no interest in logbooks, some want to thumb through all 10000 hours)
