Two years after last comment...
When all is converted to electronic, do you stop entering data into the old paper logbook?
If so, is it okay to bring a paper logbook to an interview that has not been updated like the electronic one?

I stopped entering in paper logbook...but I heard that the airlines want your endorsements at the interview as well. Some folks are simply making copies of them (from their old paper logs) and including them in their final presentation binder at interview...

Bring a printed copy of the electronic log book. Also bring the original logbooks with the actual signoff signatures in them. No need to continue to fill out paper once you have the electronic log book.

20 years and 11000 hours of flying took me about 9 months to complete in Logbook Pro. As for endorsements, I scanned and pasted each endorsement into a separate section of my binder. My paper books haven't seen any action in about two years. It's a huge job, but a little bit of dedication and a few beers make it doable.

Flica- electronic
I could've sworn someone once said there was an electronic logbook that could basically download directly from Flica.. meaning if you're months/years behind, or of course doing it daily, you can just download from Flica to your logbook.. obviously you'd have to edit for stuff like if it was your landing, etc….
does that exist or was someone just saying something I misinterpreted?
..
Also, apparently the answer is "yes" because everyone's stressing about these logbooks… but do these companies really want to see a log printout of every single flight you've ever done?? Can't they just say, "oh you've worked at XYZ regional for 5 years.. ok we'll just verify with your employer."
Maybe I've asked before.. I'm a little behind on mine and catching up, but these captains who say they haven't logged in 10 years or more but now want to move on… are they really trying to log every flight from that decade?? That won't be accurate - I can barely remember which legs I flew yesterday let alone from 8 years ago (?)
I'm assuming the little logbooks from the crew store that you jot down the block time, etc… is totally unprofessional to show up with. lol.
