I then digitized my military logs, deleted all the annual reviews and duplicate entries, and then printed it out so it would read properly in my logbook binder. It took forever to scan and print to make it look right and for all I know my logbook wasn't even reviewed, but it was one thing I knew I wouldn't have to worry about on a day when I was worried about pretty much everything.
It's definitely reviewed. Found an error in mine that I had been carrying around for 10 years, even through hiring from another airline!

I used Logbook Pro and this exact binder for the pages. I also used a heavier paper for printing (but not quite resume style). I had my originals ready for inspection if needed but I didn't turn them in at the beginning. I had my 1-page Air Force flight time summary in the flap of the binder as well. They seemed to like the presentation. I offered up my originals during the interview and they said no thanks.

They hesitated to give actual numbers in on doc because it changes weekly, but the hiring will be continuous. My guess is easily another 1000 folks for this year IMO.

It doesn't matter if you feel like you might have gone overboard. If you get hired, it's never overboard.

I don't think you have to be in indoc or training to have insight into that info, but here goes - 100+ per month for the foreseeable future. 115 hired in March and 364 hired this year so far, with no end in sight.

How often does that happen? Is that detrimental to the interview?

Dunno. Probably 4 other airlines had looked at those same logbook over the years and no one had ever caught it. They didn't make a big deal out of it during the interview, just showed me the error, I said "huh...been carrying that around for 10 years and never noticed that." Then we moved on. I was still offered the job so it must not have been THAT detrimental.

I went in with the same attitude, Mike...NEVER give them an easy kill. If they don't want to hire you because you tubed the interview, so be it. But not to get hired because you showed up with shoddy paperwork would be a shame.
