AC requires a certified logbook

Post by Flapless Jack »

Folks,

AC asks you to bring in a certified logbook. The problem is that my present employer is not aware that I have an up coming interview (for obvious reasons) and therefore I will not ask my chief pilot to certify my logbook. Can you sign it yourself? What is the rule? Does anyone know the deffinition of a "certified logbook"?

For me, a certified logbook, is a logbook which is in accordance to TC regs, signed by you at the bottom of each page....

It doesn't have to be certified by the current Boss, but will have to be after your accepted.

Logbook certification is somewhat of a joke. If you are really concerned about it, have it signed by a notary. Your signature alone should suffice but if people think it needs to be certified, then an affidavit signed by an independant notary that basically says, you swear the times are correct, should do the trick. Semantics really, but at least that way, you satisfy all parties while not showing your hand to your present employer. :wink:

Don't need present employer's signature til you accept the position with Mainline.

I scribbled in a couple of previous employer's certifications because:
A) It's MY logbook, I am honest with my hours and even if I did write in hours, the previous employers just sign it anyway without looking.

B) It's a major hassle getting ahold of someone across the country and I ain't shipping it cross country for a signature!

C) One employer is long out of business and I have not the slightest idea as to where to get it certified!!

What a joke!!

Don't do what inverted2 suggests. While he may very well have done every minute in the logbook forging a certification is a guaranteed way to get yourself fired if it is discovered by an employer. And rightfully so because if the certification is forged, what else is? Spend the money and go to a notary public if you have to. Otherwise tell them in the interview that you will get your current employer to certify it when you are offered a position at Air Canada. They expect that and have no problem with it, because if it turns out you lied they can, and will, fire you afterward.

Certification from long past employers is a major pain in the ass indeed.
I've heard of the shady ops ways, but what about a former coworker certifying the time? would that not be legit???

No it would not. The simplest way is to just pay the money to a notary public. Done in just a few minutes and is way less aggravating than chasing down former employers. I've done it myself and it's perfectly legal and accepted.
