Logbook presentation for interviews?
Like most military flyers we have the line-by-line records and everything from our SARM/HARM, but if you have converted it to digital how are people prepping the official document for interviews? I heard recently from the Hiring Director at American on the Ready4Pushback podcast that American actually grades and gives a percentage of your weighted grade toward you logbook. He would not disclose whether it was the accumulation of hours or presentation of the logbooks that goes into the grade.
I used MilKeep to convert mine and everything matches and adds up as it should so I'm not concerned with that side of the logbook prep, but I'm unsure what avenue to take with printing & binding options. I
Looking for suggestions for digital logbook users, and specifically Milkeep users.

I would take every opportunity to present an immaculately professional demeanor in all respects when interacting with a legacy airline.
I don't think they're too particular about the exact format, but it's probably worth the effort (or money to pay someone else) to make it accurate and presentable.
The various electronic logbooks all have a print feature, you can take the file to kinkos and they'll print and bind it for you.

Make a logbook, but take the military records as they are the "source".

There's something to be said about plopping a green folder on the desk that isn't actually that organized because the system is very antiquated, and taking the time to have your own logbook with the same information presented in a more easily digestible way that looks like a civilian logbook so that someone who may have never seen Air Force time logging can look through.

It would be nice if HARM/SARM had the most accurate records. Definitely some blame on me who signed off on it, but I wasn't really concerned with my hours over a decade ago. I went and put it all in a spreadsheet, took me a couple of months and asking friends to verify some dates/times. I hope it'll work. Any suggestions for pointing out omissions on the line-by-line HARM didn't include in my records, or discrepancy on hours? I did keep a pocket calendar with general information, but not as accurate as a logbook.
