No, the regional airlines are the only sticklers about this "turn over your log book to us so we can review and judge" in my personal experience. GA is not like this at all. I remember last 5 GA gigs I had not one asked to see my log book for dissecting. After 1500 hours it gets as personal as a vaccination. Plus, it's a bit on the creepy side of things in my opinion, no? I wouldn't want to show my flying pictures to some stranger asking me as if he/she didn't believe me when I say I am a pilot. Someone I'm flying with and next to sure, all day long!
My memories are stored in pictures I take. I believe paper log is a bit old fashion but to each their own. I'm not damning anyone for doing it. I'm damning HR for being nosy, creepy, lazy. I blame us for allowing it to happen as if we would give our left leg to get to the majors.
Dude, you do realize you’re a total nut and this will never happen, right?
All that will come of this is that anyone who wants to get hired by an airline will do so, leaving you behind, all for want of a silly paperwork drill that you refuse to entertain due to some misplaced moral objection. I hope you’ve made peace with not rising above those GA gigs, because the logbook requirement will not change in a time span meaningful to the remainder of your working lifetime (if ever, which is more likely).
