This has been beat to death in prior threads about UPS hiring ...
I had to go take my 5th FEX before I could schedule an interview in late 2006. I was current and typed in the B757. I now have a collection of FEX writtens that will most likely collect dust and snow ...
I got the job early 2007, worth every penny for the FEX ... as NIKE used to say, just do it ! Or plan on doing it when hiring resumes if the requirement is still there.
As to the question "why the FEX is still a requirement" ... Because they want it there ...
That's all that any of us really know ...

And all you need to know
