And have all of your significant events tabbed (ie checkrides, the line entry of when you hit certain minimums, like 1500 hrs, ect.). I triple counted every total in my logbook. Made sure everything added up (day + night = TT, IFR + VFR = TT, ect...), and updated the airlineapps just before the final submission that makes it on the desk the day of the interview. Any hours I flew between that day, and the interview just simply didn't get logged until after the interview. I imagine the same accuracy is in order for when you start training, for your 8710 (IACRA) the day of your type ride / ATP ride.
A lot depends how much flight time and ratings you have. They want to make sure you have all the flight time you need so you can get your ratings. Now, I’m sure they want to document any qualifying time towards captain upgrade. They want to be able to force you to that left seat as soon as they can, especially if they are paying you bonus as an HVA.
I had my my ATP, but no qualifying time when I started. They made a big deal about bringing it to Indoc, but no one looked at my logbook then and I didn’t need it for the type ride either.
