When you have generally full flights on a holiday weekend it is to be expected. Passengers miss their connections so it just rolls down hill. Bad time of the year to nonrev.
As a first officer, it is good planning to know what the captain is going to abort for. It keeps everything standardized. Except for rare situations, most of the captains have the same abort brief and we are all on the same page. Of course, it is always the captain's decision. Every airline is...
I did just as you described. Made a single line for each aircraft type up until I started airline flying. No problems during the interview with bringing forward totals.

Just to point out one more positive thing about switching to an electronic logbook. You can set it up so that it auto fills the appropriate columns based on the type of aircraft. It is great for filling out applications too because you can sort whatever time is being asked. You don't want to...
Personally, I would say that the important thing is for your totals to be accurate and match your application. I think I would still keep up the MEL and Turbojet columns. If I was several years behind in my logbook, I would switch to an electronic version. I quit filling out a paper logbook...
