I had an app on file last year that remained "active" & after getting the email everyone else got, I went in and filled out a 2007 app. I noticed yesterday after I got the call, my app had gone from"active" to "on file" at some point. What that means, I don't know. As for quals, I have 3700 TT, 1900 PIC in various C-130s. I don't think TT or PIC was key, but that I have a significant amount of overseas and flight test experience was.

Hope this helps & good luck to everyone.
