I used to do it leg by leg, but since I got my ATP, I haven't updated my logbook for a while. Just looked at it today and I haven't updated it since June 
I was wondering if you all do it leg by leg, day by day, or just pairing number? I was thinking of just doing it by pairing number from now on, and then going thru crewtrac and saving each pairing number on my PC if it ever becomes an issue with future employers

I have an electronic logbook that I log leg by leg and print out periodically that is my official logbook now. I still keep a hand written logbook that is logged month by month.
I keep it for 2 reasons.
1. It has original signatures in it for all of my endorsements.
2. I have heard of people going in for interviews with a printed logbook and the interviewer not liking it. So my next interview I will take it with me as a back up to the printed one.

If you log every leg your 10 year logbook will last 2 years. For us regional guys having to log 6+ legs a day would get old and full very fast.
I log one day per line. Where I started and ended in the To and From and the stops in between in the memo section along with any holds, apps, etc...

I also log 1 line per day/plane. If I keep the same plane for 5 legs I log it all on one line. If I fly 2 planes in one day I log one plane on one line with its matching legs and the others on another line. In the remarks section I write each flight such as EWR-PWM and its flight number 3292. I started out by logging all my 121 flights leg by leg and that got old after the first month.
When I get into something more reasonable like 2 legs per day then I will switch back.
