My question is, how important is it to have electronic if we are applying to a major? I have always done just paper and the thought of transferring all of it makes me sick..
I keep hearing having an electronic print off for interviews is almost a must anymore...can anyone chime in?

If you get the interview with a major and have a neat, hand written logbook(s), that will not be the reason you don't get the job.

I'm a pilot with 7800 hrs. Does anyone know if any of the electronic logbook company's offer the paper to electronic conversion service? Meaning can you send your paperlog books to them and have them convert them to the electronic book. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks
I checked the electronic data against the analog (written) data and made corrections on each page as needed.
Took me a year doing one or two pages a night but sure makes it nice if you need to break down the data.
I suggest double checking each page for errors.
Remember, garbage in=garbage out.

I was in the same boat as you are, I had roughly 8100 hours to log. I bought Logbook Pro and got to work, starting with my first discovery flight 18 years ago. It took me a couple of months of plucking away at it, but I did leg by leg and it was a pain in the ass. When I was all done I brought the electronic file to the FedEx store and had it printed. It was worth the time and money and most importantly, Delta seemed to like it...:-)

What kind of endorsements and sign offs do you need at this point? Keep them in your paper logbook. Logten pro I think lets someone sign it with their finger for that purpose. Could always annotate it in remarks and put their cfi# in or something. But I don't think Delta is going to ask to see your complex endorsement. Anyone in the 121 world should be beyond needing endorsements. Not like an airline signs your logbook endorsing you to take a checkride or signs it after your checkride. Could also print out a page to get signed and scan it and attach it to the digital logbook. If you are flying GA and get ramp checked the Feds don't ask to see your endorsements to see if you are legal to fly a plane.

We will also need to review all of your original logbooks and endorsements. If not, you will need to produce copies of your company/ flight school signoffs, endorsements, and FAA documents detailed in Advisory Circular 120-68F (including 8060-5, 8060-72 and 8710-1) at the interview.

I scanned them from my original paper logbooks and made a digital copy and put them in the back, along with all the other pretty graphs and breakdowns that Logbook Pro offers. Also, I did the electronic signature and imported that onto every page.
