Going back all the time is a pain in the butt. Let me tell what myself as a Continental Airline pilot and all the people I work with fill in flight data. As we close the door to the aircraft and release the break so we get an out time from the ACARS we fill that out time in our logbook (right now I use a spreadsheet even though I have the PDA software for LBP) Then when we get to the gate and get an in time we fill out that, we also then fill out IMC, Approaches, Landings and switching from page to page is slow and cumbersome. No offence intended, but if you could have a spreadsheet style layout for the PDA stuff it would be 10 times better. Filling in our flights this way is just part of the flow we use and it makes the most sense because if late bags or a late passenger has to get put on the plane then the ACARS resets the time and we get paid from the first block out time plus our block time counts from the first block out time and we can not get the first block out time if the ACARS resets.</blockquote>
