iPad logbook at the interview
 

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

If you want the job, print it.

2nd that.

Print it. What does it cost you for the shot at a major?

Are you going to leave your iPad behind so that the hiring board can reference it after the interview? Many airlines will make copies of at least the last page of your logbook for reference, I'm not sure how easy that would be with an iPad.

Part of the exercise is to find out if you're the kind of guy who tells the truth or stretches it. Turning an Ipad on and saying "See?" doesn't allow for that.

Not knowing that that is a big part of the exercise simply wouldn't be believable to a hiring board. Don't do that.

If, instead, you're asking whether or not they'll accept a computer file instead of a printout, the answer is that you should be immediately prepared to provide either one. The main job of an applicant is to make it easy for someone to hire you.

It's good to stand out from the crowd...in a good way. If you stand out in a bad way, well...

Do us all a favor, test out the waters with only the iPad and let everyone know how it goes.

Really? Is that a serious question?

I would just use the iPad app. Actually I would just email them the file, then face time in for the interview. I wouldn't even change my PJs.

Just save your logbook file to a PDF, put it on a flash drive, and take it to a FedEx Kinkos. They can print it and bind it for you in 10 min for $20.

Thanks for the responses; been planning to print it up anyways, just seeing if the current trend has changed since I last interviewed nearly a decade ago...
