First off, as has been pointed out, you can only have a PE. LOR’s no longer exist under the new system. And having a PE is a distinct benefit, not a liability, to your application. To leverage it properly however your Endorser must actively engage with their Fleet Captain to advocate for you. There were apparently growing pains which earlier on resulted in the PE not being the enhancement it was meant to be but those seem to have been fixed.

Does anyone know if one someone who wrote a PE for someone can delete that endorsement if that someone doesn’t interview with FedEx but got hired somewhere else? I know if someone interviews with Fedex and gets rejected it counts but what if they never interviewed?

What is the general sense among pilots at FedEx about this? Good or bad, doesn't matter? Maybe it will level the field a bit for guys without a heavy hitter recommendation?

My understanding is once a PE is put in the system .. that's it. You are done. Kinda like trying to put a bullet back in the gun, doesn't work that way... Please correct me if I'm wrong, my guy got hired by Delta, but I have another guy I would be happy to endorse..
