Recommend recording all flight times on a cocktail napkin, but whatever you do, don't forget to smudge lipstick on the napkin to give it that extra flare. Seriously though, your thought process is on point, the airline hiring machine will catch up with technology some day, maybe. In the meantime, print your logbook, bring your iPad, and have screen shots of your last ten pages ready to email to some HR geek.

The guys interviewing/hiring you probably won't be twenty-somethings, they'll likely be old-school captains..... play to your audience. Have bound paper. The "new norm" won't arrive 'til the next generation of captains is hiring.

So I haven't been keeping a paper logbook in quite some time, as I have been using an electronic logbook for nearly a decade now.
So the question I pose is this; when going in for an interview these days, has anyone been successful in showing up with only an iPad or other electronic device with your logbook on it? Or do interviewers still want to see a printed logbook?
In this day and age of transitioning to EFB's, I can't imagine a major airline making a big deal of this, but I have no first hand experience.
Thanks

At the same time tell them the truth of what you think about paper manuals and jepps.

That is, when I'm not busy driving my swag Delorian while calling my wife on my brick sized mobile "cell-u-lar" telephone, anyways. Can you imagine? Being able to TALK to people on the PHONE while DRIVING???
Technology is radical, man.

Not to hijack my own thread, but not true.
The phrase "cell phone" coincides with the coining of the phrase "cellular network", which was coined in the late 70's; they were also commonly referred to as "car phones" because most of them were in fact installed in a car at the time.

Although truthfully I had no idea either, I was just making a funny.

Many airline hiring boards are most comfortable with easily verified logs from a third party. My logs were backed up by Flightline / Pay Sheets. Then I did a database on top so if they wanted night / IFR / per type ... I could run any number they wanted to see. FWIW FedEx and Delta were happy with my "logbook" although it was a database.
