Logbook Pro in interviews
Are there any issues with using a logbook pro style logbook in an intervirew. I just finished making mine. It looks realy nice and I unfortunately found a few errors in my old logbooks. Any advice would be great!

I just got LBP and have spent around 20 hours transferring hours over (still not done
). I have found it to be very nice. I just interviewed with CAL and drug all my old logbooks to it, I wish I had done this sooner. I think if you print the pages out and get them bound or spend the money and buy the leather binders that are out there you will be just fine. As far as errors are concerned, I had a few and just lined through them or added a line where needed with a note in the remarks section. The guy looking at my logbooks didn't say anything and I got the call, so I assume they were good.

I would suggest that you do not bring your LBP products to your interview if you are military. The airlines are very familiar with the military flight time products. Having a 2nd set of logs, especially if there any differences between the two, is going to cause concern.
For my interviews, I bought my Air Force SARMs print outs along with an excel spreadsheet showing how I calculated my PIC time (Air Force does not specifically track PIC time).
If you bring your LBP products, they are going to make copies of it and the military records. At any point if it is discovered that you've changed something, it could be grounds for termination.

No I do not think LBP would be ok. It isn't an official log book. Second, if you have an error or a discrepancy, it could cost you your job.
When I interviewed, do you want to take a guess at how many seconds they reviewed my Air Force transcripts? (its less than 30!)
You're military, they don't care about your LBP. You have the interview, don't say something stupid and you have the job.

I'm not sure about the civlian guys. I would just use your official log book which contain the proper endorsements from instructors and check airmen. But I would ask some of your civilian buddies and find out what they did.

Here's what I did when I interviewed at NWA (I got the job). I ordered a binder from Scott Leather (custom, with my name embossed, about $90), and printed out my complete logbook from LBP. Also, I brought my old-style logbooks as well which they told me they really appreciated. They commented that the printed version was a nice backup, and then thanked me for bringing the originals. In short, make sure you bring your original logbooks to your interview. I had heard a rumor of some people having to Fedex their original logbooks after they interviewed at a different company because they wanted to see them. You don't want to show up without all the documentation they requested, that just might make the difference for you that day. Just my experience, hope it helps.
