Dead Horse Alert!!! Another EK interview question
Ladies and Gentlemen,
In preparing for mine, I have a logbook certification question.
EK requires all original logbooks (stampted and certified by regulatory authority or company). This is a given as listed in their invite paperwork.
I've not had my logbooks "certified" by the FAA since I did my ATP ride back in college. Do I need to schedule another trip to my FSDO and have this done again? Will EK accept the carbons issued from my previous companies' PC's, line checks and recurrents as verification of time? I also keep copies of the A/C log pages from my current company for CYA purposes; can these be used as well?
Thanks for any input.

FAA FSDO
Just go to the FSDO and have then stamp it. There is no procedure to have the FAA certify the logbooks. After all what are they certifiyng. Orlando FSDO was really helpful and we ended up having lunch together. Don't come without the logbooks at least stamped by the FAA. EK does not like boxes not checked!

Hey,
Thanks for the quick reply. I just went to local FSDO and they don't have anything in place for stamping logbooks. In talking with reps from two other FSDO offices, both Inspector Supervisors said the US dosen't do it anymore because of staffing. They did tell me to take my logbooks a notary public. Without directly asking the folks in HR at EK is this acceptable?
Thanks

When I did my interview a couple of years back I got my (then) present employer to stamp the logbook. After all, they are the only people who are in a position to certify your hours are correct. I appreciate this is not a viable proposition if your previous employer has gone bust...
