Logbook Pro....is it almost as good as sex?

[JetBlast2000]

350,

Gee, you seem to like to attack people. After saying that I’ll assume I’m next. But why don’t just address the points that have been brought up? You say you’ve “won” arguments and swayed people away from electronic log books with your convincing arguments.

Yet, DrEvil and I have brought up several points you have not talked about. Care to attack the position and not the person?

Jet,

If you enjoy using the electronic log books then by all means do so. This is somewhat of a senseless argument/debate or whatever else you want to call it since your mind is made up as well as mine. I am old school and my personal preferences are not those of yours, nothing more and nothing less. Dr.Evil is entitled to his opinions as I am, with that being said I wish ya'll the best of luck with your electronic logbooks and hope you never run into a problem at any future interview which I am sure in your mind you won't.

cheers,

As well versed as you think you are with all of your whopping 2,000 hours of experience in this industry I will take your word for what it is. I don't think I will be changing anything, didn't get to where I am today by the luck of the Irish but I do appreciate your concern.

350driver,

When you state that you didn't get to where you are today by the luck of the Irish, what exactly did you mean? Where exactly "are" you in this industry?

If you are going to give advice on what it takes to get hired at an airline, don't you think you should have some experience getting hired at an airline?

Actually I have been successful at 2 airline interviews my dear, next dumb question?. Given your failed track record at American Eagle and your run ins there you would be the last person on this board anyone should take advice from. This is almost as good as your post about getting 1500 hour pilots insurable to fly a CJ single pilot. I would urge everyone to do a board search on this crazy lady before you take her word on anything. Lequip has summed you up best, nough said.

Answer the question 350.

And no failed track record at Eagle for me. I've never busted anything, knock on wood, but I could in the future.

Now, answer the question 350.

Right, I have better things to do than make this up. What is sad is that your own former fellow crew members didn't even give you any respect and from what I have heard you deserved very little if any. Glad you played the gender card and got to where you are today cause of it. Lose the bug up your @ss, you won't make many friends.

And where I am at is none of your business, I can assure you that you couldn't play the gender card here..

sorry my dear-

Back to the original question...

I have used Logbook Pro for the last two years along with my palm pilot. I found that if I didn't update my logbook for a few months from the "Little Black Book" it took forever to update my real logbook and had the potential for errors. Now I just copy and paste my schedule from our scheduling webpage and sync my Palm Pilot. At the end of the month, it only takes a few clicks to update my computerized logbook. I haven't had any signoffs in my logbook for at least 4 1/2 years, everything at the airline is always done on their own forms. So when it comes time for a future interview, I will just take along my old paper logbook as proof of the times before the electronic version. I like the fact that I can print a very neat and detailed logbook tailored for whomever wants to see it. When I went for my type ride in the CRJ, the examiner really liked my electronic printouts.

In all reality, if you are still in the training enviornment, I would recommend the paper version due to the signoffs. Once you get to the airline/corporate level the electronic logbook really shines.

Oh, and if any inanimate object remotely comes close to being as good as sex, you are doing it wrong! So the answer to that part of the question is a resounding NO!

Hope that helps

The truly sad part is that you feel the need to come on this board and attempt to destroy others credibility when you have none at all. I am 100% who I say I am. You are living a lie.

No one will ever be able to read your posts in the future here without thinking you are a fraud.

Well, one was Piedmont. The other was NOT America West.

You have destroyed your own credibility, it was no one elses doing but yours.. I can't help the fact that your own former co-workers have taken the time to send me pm's to prove first hand that you are one emotional nut case.

Lequip is not a former co-worker...got anything else?

And, would you like to answer the question now? I've played your little game with you, now you can answer my question. Do you fly the Airbus? If you can't answer that one, then, do you work at America West?

You know where I work, and you know of one of my former positions. Why so scared to answer these two little questions? Got something to hide?

 

[FarginDooshbahg]

Why waste your time arguing with this worthless dingleberry particle? He is a liar and a fraud. He has NEVER flown an Airbus, does NOT fly for America West, and does nothing but waste people's time and this board's bandwidth with his personal attacks and useless drivel. Oh, in addition to pretending to be an Airbus pilot for AWA, he also likes to pretend he is a big time cardio-thorasic surgeon in this fantasy dreamland of his.

Ignore him. He won't go away, but at least you won't have to spend any of your own brain cells on the likes of him.

FWIW, electronic logbooks are just fine. I really HAVE had several airline interviews using them, two of them were at majors and another one was with an international carrier where I had to have my logbook inspected by their governing agency. NOT ONCE did anyone have even the SLIGHTEST problem with my electronic logbook. In fact, they were pleased with its completeness and its neatness and legibility. Not to mention my own satisfaction with how easy it is to filter and print reports.

I just cringe at the thought of inputing 15 years of flying into this database.
Does anyone know if you can take the Air Force electronic data and merge it into this program?

Yeah..but once its there you have it. I don't have nearly the time you do so it won't be so bad. You could just do it like a couple hours a week until your caught up.

Dude... What Rumple said.

If your profile is accurate, 3400hrs, you probably have fewer individual legs to input into a computer than I did. I manually entered 3750 individual flights... It took a while, and took half again as long to manually error-check, but once it's finished it is worth it.

350Driver, your profile says 'bus'...you've been asked whether you fly/flew an airbus. Your response is to belittle the person asking.

Do you/Have you flown an airbus?

If not, what does the 'bus' in your profile mean?

note: how much do you want to bet he doesn't answer the question and instead belittles me somehow?

Bones...

I feel your pain. I decided about 4 months ago to buy Logbook Pro. It took about 3 months to get the 8 years of 121 time I sat on since I was hired. This may be one of those times that you just have to suck it up and do the work.

You can import data from a spreadsheet file, if you have the data stored electronicaly somewhere. You will have to format it so LBP accepts it. I transferred it from an Excel file and after a few tries figuring out what it took to make it transfer, it worked great.

Good luck!

english, this makes me want to buy you a beer...or whatever girls drink.

I'll be on Maui 4 more weeks. PM me if you want to take me up on beverage of your choice.

Check out www.logshare.com

I have been a Logbook Pro user for 3-4 years now and love it. I even broke down and bought one of their $100 leather binders. It makes very nice reports and logbook pages. However...

I have discovered a free online logbook at www.logshare.com . I use this as it is internet accessable and once a month or so I export the entries from here and import it into Logbook Pro.

I have found this to be the perfect marriage (still not better than sex). It allows me to keep up with my logbook informaion while on the "road", and still have the additional benefits (and a backup) in logbook pro.

Can you load Logbook Pro on mutiple computers?

 

[DrEvil]

Can you load Logbook Pro on mutiple computers?

Yes, I use their Professional Edition which allows you to install on two computers. I use it on my Desktop and Laptop computer and it can sync the two PC's which is neat!

 

[BonesF15]

I assume you can track muliple pilots, or would I need another copy for the wife?

 

[DrEvil]

I just checked out their versions page and it looks like you just need one copy of the Enterprise Edition as that handles multiple pilots on a single computer.

 

[Diesel]

I downloaded pro to give it a shot on my pocketpc and then sync it with my computer at home. I'm running into a few problems with the pocket pc version.

It has Day landings and Night landings but no night takeoffs or day takeoffs.

I'd like a section where you can put in if it was part 135, or 91

Also when putting in zulu time into the logobook it should carry the zulu time through to the next field not just the local time.

Anybody know how to fix these things or am i just screwed with what I have?

I'm still getting used to it and trying to see if it's worth it to dump all this time and effort into putting all my old logbooks on pro.

Also i'm curious to see how the syncing goes.

you can always just put all your previous hours on one line and start using logbookpro from there, a summary of time carried forward... just like you do when you run out of space in a regular logbook and buy a new one. you're probably going to keep your old logbooks around anyway.

 

[135fr8r]

I use logbook pro, but have never tried to print until recent. It took two pages of printing to equal one line in the book. Can someone tell me how and if there is a way to print on one page only. Thanks in advance.
