Whats the consensus on logging by the day vs leg by leg? Would a major look unfavorably upon this?
Its the same information in two different formats. Doesn't matter lol.

When you fly for a living, logging leg by leg would take up way too much space and take forever to do. Each line of my logbook is a day, and include my route in the remarks on my paper logbook.
So how do you deal with switch aircraft during the same day?

Really? I routinely had 5-6-7 even 8 leg days. An 8 leg day would take up half a page. Doing it on one line would take up exactly...one line.Its really not that hard and doesn't take up that much extra space to do leg by leg. I think it looks much better for interview standards as well, if that's something you are interested in.

Interview standards? No, they don't care. Guy in my interview group used an MS Excel spreadsheet to log his stuff, he was hired.
Lugging a 50 lb logbook to an interview doesn't look bad?Meh, that's fine, people can log however they want. I'm of the school of thought of 'why not try to make it look as nice as possible' vs 'this is good enough and will save me $5 on printing', especially for a big interview. My point was that it really isn't that much harder to do leg by leg with an E logbook.
Why people would do leg by leg, I mean, really, wow, that is a lot of paper to lug around to your interview.

So we've established that it doesn't matter how you log.I log leg-by-leg.
I also had a successful legacy interview where all I did was print out my elogbook and added a few summary pages and scans of original endorsements. Barely filled 3/4 of a 1" D-ring binder at the time.
Took up less space and weight than my laptop normally would have taken in that spot of my bag.

Which was my point.
Thanks for your help in making it .
For me, logging just my 121 time leg by leg, would've taken 400+ pages at 14 lines per page, IIRC that was how many entries per page in the Logbook Pro template I used. Roughly. That is basically one ream of paper. You are fortunate your number was called with so little time .
Keep in mind what 61.51 says about what needs to be included for flights that we choose to log. Of course, if you are not logging for FAA pruposes, it doesn't matter.I used to make notes in my logbook about every flight or just anything notable. Now I just log the bare minimum. I don't even log the N numbers anymore. Too much to keep up with when you switch planes a couple times a day to fly 30 min legs on the Charlotte shuttle.
