I got my electronic log printer out and had my iPad with me to search anything he’d want. It’s not expensive and well worth it to have done professionally

Had everything on an E-log printed and spiral bound at Office Depot/Max (whatever), brought originals with endorsements and whatnot, everything tabbed on both originals and E-log printout. Excel summary spreadsheet with lookbacks and milestones. Never looked at originals and log review took about 45 seconds...the rest was talking about flying and why Southwest.

Agreed with previous replies...make it as easy as possible on the interviewer to check their boxes and enjoy the rest of your time with the person you're speaking with.

Pro tip: put whatever summary sheet you have with the logbooks when the collect them. Otherwise, you may not have access to it during the actual logbook review interview.

I went in with a combination of my old paper logbooks, which I never converted to electronic (just too much data entry), along with one more logbook that was a bound printout of my LogTen Pro electronic logbook that I did at FedEx Office (which covered my flights since 2006). No issues at all at the interview, and most of our conversation was around that most recent logbook.

My laziness is how they verify I'm a real pilot. :D

Of the many pilots hired, how long did it take for you to be notified after your interview?

2-3 weeks depending on when your decision board meets.

When I interviewed in December of 2016 they told us the date of the decision board meeting and the call came either that day or the next day. I no longer remember. But the decision will be made on the day they tell you and you'll have an answer shortly after that.

You should have a pretty good idea of being hired once your refs are called.
