Everyone in my group had the gouge for how to make a spread sheet so there’s no calculator needed when you go in. They’re not looking for perfection, instead to see you have the majority of what you say. I know people who had 60+ hr discrepancies and they got hired. Depending on who does your review if you have the spreadsheet they won’t even open your logbook. Others may just look to see if what you have on your sheet is in your book. A good prep company will give you that gouge.

Would a printed and bound version of the electronic log (Logbook Pro) be acceptable? My logs are all screwy on adding up in paper (PIC for the commercial license does not meet SWA criteria etc) but the electronic one is exact and perfect. Bringing in the old paper logs would be a lot of 'splaining.
I still don't have an interview, but I don't want to get caught with my pants own if I get one.

Yes that’ll work.

From my experience back in summer 2017, they seemed to like the electronic printout version plus the spread sheet. They did want to see source documents i.e. paper logbooks too.

That's exactly what I did. I still brought the paper books, but had a nicely bound electronic copy printed out zero time to current with all important milestones tabbed with sticky tabs. I talked about the PIC time difference, and it was all a non-issue. I think they're looking to see if you're well organized and can backup what you listed on the app, and also if you can stay cool under pressure...

I will reiterate what most have said above. If you keep legit documentation of your flight times you will not have any issue. The kind of questions I received were like, (While thumbing through my paper bound electronic logbook) "So, when you were based in DTW, what were you flying?" Obviously he saw I was flying CRJs...

Another thing was like, "So whats a F900? Oh, ok... What was flying that like?"

It's just very basic general questions as to your logbook that as others have mentioned just are a basic verification that what you have submitted makes sense and you are able to answer questions about. They aren't trying to stump you here.

Have the spreadsheet printed out with the yearly times mentioned. When he saw that I had that done, he goes... "ahh perfect, thank you for printing this out. Now we'll have more time to just chat."

Just know, they are comparing your logbook totals in hand to what they have printed out from your submission on AirlineApps. Does everything you have here make sense... Dont stress about small discrepancies. I know for one column AirlineApps differed from what I had in my logbook by like 30hrs. I think it was something to do with Multi Engine PIC in which AirlineApps didn't count as PIC while I was under instruction but I was in fact PIC and I had logged it as so.

Something like that. As long as you can describe why you have what you have if it's at all different is all that matters with any discrepancy.

Good Luck
