We probably all have a sim column from general aviation sims, Frasca, etc. If you need to log level D, then I would create a separate column just for that... if you need to meet ATP mins, they'll have to sign it.
It might be hard to consistently log level D in your personal book throughout your airline career... it's not required per the airline (as it is logged in their records). Many instructors will not want to sign your book since there's no upside for them.
Yeah, I didn't actually need the time for the ATP. I'm already way pass training and was catching up/cleaning up my digital logbook, so I wasn't sure if majors and whatnot like to see it in there. Seems like what I'm being told, which is what you're saying, is definitely don't include it in TT, and don't include dual or simulated instrument--only Flight Simulator column.
Thanks
