Sad attitude towards logbooks?
Yeah, perhaps so but I kept logging for over 20 years, then just lost interest. Got burned out on flying and now it is just a pay-check, yet when I started out in 1977, heck I was more hooked than most of the PPRuNe gang.
As I was working my way up as a Flight Instructor and parachute pilot, I used every spare penny and bought more courses and ratings and logged every touch and go and all that.
Kept on trucking for years untill one day I was flying left seat of a DC-3 and thought I have died and gone to heaven. Logged every hour of that adventure.
Some ten years and many jobs and types later, I strapped into the left seat of a B-747 and flew it for the 4 years it lasted. Even logged the time...
Then that deal fell apart and I ended up as an F/E on the B-727 for a different company, sort of lost interest and quit logging.
No big deal, just more interested in sailing and diving than flying.
Flying has been good to me, but the passion has gone:
Don't rent small planes anymore, have not done my tail wheel or float plane stuff in years, nor instructed. (Kept my CFI current, not sure why)
So to the boys and gals who enjoy your flying, fantastic, go for it and keep logging the events and hours and landings and all that, but it is after all optional..
