On this topic, I have my paper logbooks converted to digital but obviously none of the dual received time has the CFI's endorsement in the remarks since that's in the paper logbook. Is this an issue as long as I bring my paper logbooks too? Tab both electronic of just one or the other?

No. As long as you have all of your originals that contain endorsements and sign offs then you are good. I converted all of mine to digital. I showed up with all my old logs books and just tabbed everything plus tabbing where my electronic official took over as the primary.

Not interviewing just curious, why would United want to see original endorsements and sign off’s? I’m assuming you have a decent 121/135 or military history prior to applying so everything relevant has been documented and verified.
With every checkride pre ATP your logbook gets scrutinized.

Due diligence. They probably don’t even look at them because of the reason you just stated. They just want to show that you can produce them so they can say they did their due diligence.

Again, due diligence?
That’s been done by DPE’s, FAA inspectors, training centers etc etc.
What else they want to see? Expired medicals and temporary certificates?

Who knows? You want to get hired or not? Doesn’t really matter the reason. Because they want you to jump through hoops. Again, want to get hired or not?

Such a thought terminating cliche.

You are wanting an answer to something that neither you nor I control. I gave you a best guess on it and you chose to continue questioning it. If you are truly interested in finding the answer then this board is not the best place for that. If you want to get hired, do as they say. It’s that simple. There are countless questions as to why airline hiring departments do what they do. In the end most of it doesn’t make sense. But two things we can for sure count on…1) you will never get them to divulge why they do what they do and 2) If you don’t play the game they want you to play, you will not be hired, regardless of how silly it may seem.

It is very easy to pencil whip a logbook. Example You claim to have never failed a checkride but then some don't believe an end of course in 141 training is a "checkride." It isn't a pink slip so there is no faa record. There it is in your logbook multiple "EOC" with retraining in-between. You can read between the lines like that for all your checkrides and they are looking for patterns.

Got the invite to interview. What's this 'Applicable FAA 8710-1 documentation validating previous certifications' all about? For people who were interviewed does just using my most recent type ride 8710 work or do I have to track down every single one (private, instrument, instructor, etc)?
