This dialogue may or may not have happened during my LOE with my CA pair:
APD: "I see you updated your hours. You showed me your logbook, right?"
CA: "No, I don't have my logbooks with me"
APD: "I mean - You showed me your logbook, RIGHT?"
CA: "Ah yes, I did"
APD: "Good. If the FAA was here, you'd be f*cked".
Somehow that doesn’t seem right. The company has a record of your time. If you fulfilled the criteria of the ATP on your initial type ride, then why should you be required to bring a log book? There isn’t a FAR that I’m aware of that says you need to keep your hours logged, you just need to meet the requirements.
