1 Since i've been applying in the US (not leaving there right now) I had to have it to fill out some forms.
2 It was a long day, I didnt want to carry anything with me for 3 hours while waiting in the gate for my flight. Stupid me indeed!!

right. i wrote "some" meaning thats how much time you can validate, i.e. prove that you flew. If a company like ASA turns you down with prior jet experience over this I would be extremely surprised. then once you get your few thousand hours there, this whole logbook issue youre currently going through will seem insignificant.

Having the last page copied will be very helpful.
Ok one last q'
Should I try to duplicate the old logbook (I had everything since first hour in flight training in there)????

in that case i say screw that time you lost. youll be able to salvage your Lear time which is what you need for the job at ASA. other than that, count your losses, move on and in 2-3 years a few hundred hours will never ever matter again.

Lets not berate the man for losing his logbook (or having someone lose it for him). I only keep one, somewhere in the closet. I can recreate all the time flying for hire, as most people probably can after consulting your employers.

I disagree with ghilis101, I'd make the whole book again, best I could. With less than 1,000 hrs every bit should count to you. Your flight schools may have all your records as well. Some keep a file on every person that flies with them.

Always have a back up and logboog pro is great to have and keep a back up of that on a jumpdrive.

get a hold of the faa and request your last 8710; also if you had a previous medical that can back up your time added after the 8710.

best way to store your time other than your log is to make copies of the last inputs and have them notarize.

I feel your pain somewhat, jetblue lost my humongous luggage and my laptop, all i got was $35 voucher for the next flight I take with them. (learned my lesson)
