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

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.

Really? Is that a serious question?
