Since the mins say that your FE written must be within 2 yrs, I would assume that the computer would kick you to "on file".
Anybody try this? i.e. apply with an old FE written, and not get put "on file" ??

I put my application in two weeks ago, but my recommendation was sent in this week. Does that matter? When do they score your application, right when it comes in? Also, I understand that if I don't get called before January I should reapply, is that correct? Does my buddy at UPS also need to resend the recommendation? Maybe someone else has already found the answers to these questions.

My quals:
6500 TT, 4500 PIC all turbine time, most of it in heavy intl jets and lots of overwater time (C-17, C-141, A-300), FE ticket (B-727 panel guy)
All the squares were filled on the app--I'm wondering where I am now lacking in competitiveness other than not being successful last year in my interview...

C17,
There is a chance you aren't in "Active" mode because of your just having interviewed unsuccessfully the year before. I would bet that UPS's computers check to see if that's the case.
Those who don't get through a UPS interview successfully seem to have a hard time getting a second chance.... I agree, your times look very competitive. Wish I had a better opinion on your situation.

I'm curious what is considered competitive enough to grab the elusive "active" status. My times aren't the highest - 3500 total, 2000 pic - all heavy, 95% international - but should be exactly what UPS is looking for.
A bud in my squadron applied last January, he has close to 8000 total, and 6500 pic. Yet he has always been "on-file" and has never progressed beyond that status.
Anyone know the hours UPS is targeting when selecting candidates?
