Recommendations for logbook review
Have a Southwest Airlines interview scheduled for June.
Does anyone have any information where I could go to get my logbook hours double checked and reviewed prior to an interview? I am using a company for interview prep, but they do not have log book reviews.
Anyone have a company/person they can recommend who does a thorough log book review, preferably someone with SW interview knowledge?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure it would help. Just go through your log make sure totals add up and everything is neat and orderly. The logbook review is part of the interview. It's not just about what is in the log but about how you present yourself and the information asked for. Any reputable interview prep place should know what they ask for and give some guidance on look back totals to bring with you. Think of it as a one on one interview.

Idk how reasonable it is but putting it in electronic format is the most accurate
Method. It sounds daunting, I had about 8k hours to do and took a few days but if you realize the interview is 3 parts and this is like a automatic pass with correct data it makes it worth it.
Also a tip, they will ask for a number. You probably haven’t totaled up for me it was MEI time and Line Check Airman time...I know..weird but
I think it’s to see how you can come up with something that makes sense.

Agree^
My logbook interviewer asked was how much time I have instructing in turbine aircraft.
Be ready for something to be asked that you aren’t ready for.

Agree. I don’t remember what they asked for exactly, but I did use the calculator and pencil. I think it’s to see how you behave when you get pushed a tiny bit out of your comfort zone, especially if you walk in already well prepared.

^^^ indeed ^^^
The whole interview is a poise test more than anything. Not to say there aren’t many important things Interviewers are looking for, but poise is a big factor.
They probably don’t need this “Time” that that catches you off guard (as it seems to change from interviewee to interviewee), but are truly looking to see how you respond.
Feel free to PM me of you want a few things that I did to help prep for the logbook portion.

Four things:
1. Bring your logbook
2. Make sure it’s added up/tabbed any types/maybe 1000 turbine PIC
3. Have your past five years broken down by flight time on a single sheet so you can hand it to them when they ask you to break it down.
4. Have a normal and pleasant conversation with the interviewer.
