I really have to laugh when I read some of the comments about so-called electronic log books.
Yes, they are just fine if you intend to work for just one airline...or perhaps a couple within the same regulatory authority.
However, if one then decides to go elsewhere overseas to fly, one might find that the regulatory authority there takes a rather dim view of said 'electronic' loogbook.
I have personally seen guys turned down for a position for which they are otherwise well qualified simply because they were too darn lazy to have the required written (and endorsed) log book.
Too lazy to keep a written personal log book?
No sympathy from me...

It’s amazing with the passing of time how truly prehistoric much of his attitude was. Electronic logbooks! They’ll never catch on! Next thing will be the internet on computers.
