FWIW, I put VAR (for Type/model) as a combined tally for SEL and they were ok with it. They did take the time to look over my logbooks closely during the panel and asked questions; I'd give them the courtesy to prepare your answers.

assuming a wild guess will just make you look bad if you actually get an interview and they decide to take a peak inside your logs ?
If they’ve turned down a former shuttle pilot (true story).. they appear to be quite particular, Lol.
But I also know of a former colleague who was hired there from my regional who had told me he’d not kept a logbook in over 10 years... so somehow he suddenly remembered his time and landings and must’ve gotten writers cramp and an interview and job.
oh well... it’s a pipe dream to fly purple aircraft, so worth the effort to work at getting it right..

Last summer, I paid my 15 year old to enter my 20+ years of paper log books into excel which I then imported into an electronic logbook. Makes the apps soooo much easier. And yeah, it seems a bit tedious to enter that 152 time from 20 odd years ago but if that's what Fedex wants me to do, that's what I do.
As an aside, we caught several math errors in the process so it was worth it just for the sake of accuracy.

Why whinge about the effort of sifting through your own logbooks to gather the appropriate data about your experience for your application, only to finish it off by saying it is "worth the effort"?

I don’t know how reputable they are but found this online. Seems like it would be money well spent.

im sure you’ve flown with someone who didn’t put forth their best effort, unbeknownst to you.
APC isn’t anonymous?? Is that a threat? You know who I am?? Ok... well, PM me my name and I’ll tell you if you’re right or not.

I used their services a few years ago. Pricey, but completely worth it in my opinion. They caught a few of my errors during the process. Logten pro makes entering flight times on an app a non issue. Worth the money in my opinion to not have to worry about it again.
