I remember when I filled mine out years ago under the old application system they wanted to know every single freaking thing about the airplane like how many times you farted in the seat too.
That’s not actually recorded in Toulouse so you can probably fudge it.

There's people you can pay to do it for you, just FYI.

My boy, I’m guessing you.’re sub 5k. Logging 20 years of flight time leg by leg after logging day by day is a big deal. Especially since it’s never mattered before. Beat it stupid.

And you know this how? From your rejection letters?

My personal experience, the experience of everyone I know that has and hasn’t made it, and my firsthand conversations with people on the hr and pilot portions of the hiring team say it has.

I’m sure you’re a very capable and knowledgeable pilot, but it’s laughable to see you call someone else stupid when you have no idea what you’re talking about.

To anyone lurking, if you decide applying is right for you don’t listen to that terrible advice. Attention to detail is one of the most important pieces of your application. There’s only so much they can glean from your logbook and application, and how much care and effort you put into both is at the top of their list.

Ive logged monthly the last 4 years and it wasn’t even brought up at one of the big 3 interviews and got an offer. I thought they might bring it up but no mention whatsoever. Guess it just depends on who’s reviewing it that day.

Monthly logging is no longer acceptable at AA per March 27 interviews. Apparently because of the United debacle they are tightening up.
