Corporate to Legacy/Major

There have been a lot of different threads lately in regards to people getting hired. I am interested to see who has gone from a Corporate flying position to a Legacy/Major and what their quals have been. Thanks for playing guys & gals!

One of my good friends just got hired at United, purely a 91 guy. He had some part 135 early in his career, probably 3000-4000TT. Knew someone up there at United, so it is definitely possible.

Logbook question for people who have made the transition:

I'm a part 91 guy, 4500TT, five type ratings, current Gulfstream PIC. I Never put much effort into my logbooks as I never intended to head to the airlines. (I would always just take the computer printouts, make a monthly entry, etc).

Now that I'm applying, do I need to go back and copy them into a new logbook? Go Electronic? Do DAL and UAL really comb through them?

Thank you in advance! Very different going from a corporate interview process to the airlines.
