Yeah... they scrub the logbooks pretty hard... It's what the interviewers are doing while you get the company introduction. Lot's of folks have been asked to leave within the first hour due to logbook errors or lack or ME currency.
Regarding your logged time... realistically, a statment on a blank sheet of paper that says "I, Joe Pilot, License# XXXXXXX have XXXX hours TT, XXX hours ME, XXX hours SE, XX hours Instrument," etc. that is signed and dated by you is a valid account of your logged time. The reality of it however... may be another story altogether.
I've known people who have completely redone their logs all the way back to their intro flight. That's cool as long as you bring in the logbooks with the endorsements in them as well. I've known Regional Captains who stopped logging their time after XXXX hours and used signed company pay registers as their logbooks for their "Major" interviews. I've also known captains who have used their signed "redbooks" too.
Currently I'm using a company payroll register based logbook that downloads my aircraft, airports, dates and times, co-pilot, etc... automatically after a trip into a Jep style format online. All I have to do is fill in landings, approaches, Actual, etc. It's pretty cool. I can then use the printouts fill out my Jep logbook without error... if I so choose. But right now I am thinking about just keeping it online... otherwise I have a year plus to make up!! Doh!
