Logbook pro vs. Traditional logbook

[paid4training]

I have an interview coming up and was wondering which would be better. My original logbook went through on of my ex-wifes tirades and did not come out too well. I managed to save the endorsement pages but everything else was very, how would you say...unprofessional!!!

Thanks is advance....

I've used Logbook Pro for a month now...love the program! Wish it would be more customizable, but it is overall the best program out there.

PFT...(oh my, did you really...I mean we all did...sort of...but, that way?)

Electronic Logbooks are readily accepted today at most carriers. Take your abused logbook and endorsement pages with you as a badge of honor of your hard work.:0

Logbook Pro will also allow you to print your computerized entries onto "green page" paper stock, so even if you have transferred your original logbook over to computer, you can print out a hard copy to take along. Info is on their web site.

Best wishes...

Does everyone use the Logbook Pro branded "green paper"? The prices seem completely absurd. On top of the price of the program, you're looking at something like $150-200 for paper and a binder. Anyone just use a walmart binder? Get any bad looks?

Leather 7 ring commercial check binder= $25
500 sheet Ream of 28# or 60# green ledger paper= $8
Kinko's drill holes in said paper= $4

Check. Thanks.

I have used LogbookPro since it first began. I have had nothing but good reviews and comments during interviews. I don't even have my old logbooks anymore. I did cut out my endorsements but other than that its gone!!!!

Just remember to backup your data monthly.

I save a copy each month to my online storage locker and I keep a copy on a disc. I only print out my info about once a year anymore.

In combination with APDL (Airline Pilots Daily Logbook) you will never have to write anything again. It has made life much easier.

Just my Opinion.

You can customize it as you wish. I changed and added columns in creating my personal design. What are you trying to customize?

 

[acaTerry]

Can it seperate by type A/C(ie CE152, PA44, etc)?

Logbook Pro can differentiate between which seat you farted in while you were flying through that one cloud on your first IFR cross country over Ft. Worth in the c-172 with the blue stripe, not the one with the off-blue stripe. No, but seriously, you can break your flight time down into ridiculously detailed reports. Planes, N-Numbers, dates, ifr, vfr, you name it and it has a column for it. I absolutely love it. Great for those who are detail-oriented. As far as using it for an interview, I did for my last one. I printed out the pages, took it to kinkos had it covered and spiral-bound. The interviewer made it a point to tell me how much he liked it. Buy it.

Go for it. I took my old logbooks and my electronic one to a recent interview. Took my Part 135 records (photocopies) separately, even though they are in my Logbook Pro. Go the job.

i have a question.

I've heard some airlines ask you to bring every logbook you have when you interview. (Meaning not only your "big brown professional green-paged logbook", but also the little red ones we carry on the plane with us every month.)
Are you guys actually converting your logbooks over to computer format, saving only your endorsements, then just getting rid of the original logbooks?

I'd like to do that, except I don't want to be sitting in an interview one day and have them frown on me because the only thing I have as proof of my time is an electronic logbook.

Also, I fly with a guy who has one of those pda combo cellphones. He has a pda program that lets him enter his flight time in his pda during flight, then sinc it to his main computer at home (think he uses logbook pro or something).

I converted all my hours over to Logbook Pro over a year ago. I've interviewed at FDX, SWA, and UPS. I brought my originals to all three(including the little red books). None had an issue with the electronic print out but in case they did I was prepared.

 

[OldManPilot]

Trust me, you don't get bonus points in interviews for having logbooks in your own handwritting. Once you have your ATP, 5000 hrs and a type rating or two its all just showing off.

I've interviewed at FDX, SWA, and UPS.

Did you get hired at all three?!

 

[Slice121]

Nope, .333 batting average and my new domicile is the home of the Louisville Slugger.

I finally joined the 21st Century and got Logbook Pro.

Point of Order: Have people been adding all the "Remarks," too, ie CFI names, Safety Pilot names, High Perf training, etc. I am just curious and hate to type any more than necessary.

Thanks.
