    Is Swift still using paper logs? I read somewhere that they have switched to E-Logs. Thanks!

    I've been on E-logs for 2 weeks now. Not bad, but I'd rather stick to paper. And not for underhanded reasons, either.

    Like all record-keeping systems, changing to a new one takes time.

    I just don't like it. It has nothing to do with getting used to a new system. I'm used to it, 100%. I'm not complaining. I'm not going to quit or anything. Still love my job.
