Upload every card that you have, don't upload ones that you don't have.

I highly doubt that. Old certificates are irrelevant. All that you have. Not all you’ve ever gotten makes sense to me.

If they say "all" without any other instructions like "only current" or "expired not required", then upload ALL!

You can also only have one flight instructor certificate. Upload it front and back.
Then upload any ground instructor, dispatch, mechanic, unmanned aerial, or any other FAA certificates you might have.

If the pilot has a ATP, then Delta knows they have a PPL...that's not the point.
They want to know the person can follow directions.....it's not about proving they passed their PPL years ago.
At least that is what my hiring team mole told me.

Did I feel absurd putting it together? Yes.
Did it seem like overkill? Yes.
Did I get hired? Also yes.

I didn't do that and when I got back to the interview room with the 3 person panel, we did a review of my application. When we got to that page, I hadn't filled out my Private or Instrument dates (assumed the ATP covered it). So they had me rifle through my logbooks to get those checkride dates. I hadn't stickied the pages, so it was a few, quiet minutes of them staring at me as I flipped through my logs. Obviously I was hired, but that made an awkward start to the interview.
They sent fix it emails to applicants that had a week long break in employment from well over a decade ago. Some of those never received a call back. I would take nothing to chance.
