There are many forms of foolish hierarchies in the micro world. Cancer kills.
Maybe I missed it, but what you're saying is that you stopped logging flight time many, many years ago, and now you're looking for work and someone asked to see your logbook, and now you think the hill/cross we should all die on is not keeping logbooks cause we can stick it to The Man?
I, for one, enjoy keeping a paper logbook. I can open it up and take a glance or two at the remarks section and sort of, kind of, remember some things that I hadn't thought of in a long time. Names of people I've not flown with since, the exotic (and not so-) places I've been. Its the diary of my professional accomplishments and I like it. So I will continue to do it. Count me out of the revolution.
