I use the Foreflight logbook exclusively. I started with paper, then an excel spreadsheet which I logged every column in the book. Only a few months ago I finally switched over. My school uses ETA to track our flights, so I wrote a program to convert ETA logbooks to Foreflight and I do it every week.
If I ever decide to leave Foreflight logbook, I can always just export it and convert it to whatever format the new logbook uses.

Perhaps this is tongue in check, but I’m curious why those people being millennials matters?
For the record I am not a millennial and I would advise anyone serious about an airline career go electronic logbook as early as possible.

The elogbook makes it vastly easier to slice and dice your flight times in the complicated (but different for each one) manner in which the majors specify.
If you apply to the big six, and update your times every month or two, and it takes four years to get hired, that's a lot of math to do by hand.

Logbook Pro can help you quickly and correctly fill those boxes, at least it did back when I last went through the application process.
Just imagine going before a hiring board and having to explain why you screwed up the math in your logbooks and this your application.
