Actually servers make minimum wage before tips, which is likely close to what your van driver is getting.

No they do not, but let's not argue that here.

For me I made an app from AppSheet which feeds a form submission into a google sheet which then I can manipulate the data for my viewing pleasure. Makes it easy to log the time on the road with my phone.

Your fingers don't breathe, they simply type. But if you are desiring to convince me to tip people who earn a living wage, then yes, it would be a waste of your time. If you are willing to part with your money and give it away to others, then so be it. I prefer to keep the money I earn. Wait staff being the exception, as mentioned above.

You are probably one of those people who errantly think they can tip and "get their money back" by claiming it on their taxes.

So do the other people I mentioned before, yet you failed to admit that you don't tip them. Why tip a van driver, but not a Walmart employee? Or your grocery stocker? Why be so choosy?

dude don't even bother. If someone thinks I'm less of a person because I refuse to engage in ridiculous social construct I really don't care. That's a person who's opinion is meaningless to me.

MCC syncs up to 10 devices. Has a phone app for almost all phones. Downloads all your trip info leg by leg. You will have to enter approaches, actual time and landings since it is unable to figure those out, but everything else is downloaded from the airline company server. It backs up to the cloud also.

And it is a one time fee that is not that expensive. I think its around $70 depending on the currency exchange rate.

The more I hear about Mcc, the more it sounds like it's the way to go.

What are you trying to get MCC to do that you can't get figured out?

I briefly played with it when I originally downloaded it. After spending a bit more time with it I think I have it figured out for the most part. Granted it's the only digital logbook I've messed with but it's pretty slick.

How important is a digital logbook now? Do employers prefer it? When you interview, do you normally take in your physical one and send them a digital copy, or do you even need your physical one any more at all?
