If you haven't updated since Nov. 2008 you are going to have to create a new profile, and probably have to pay the $fee$ again.

If you have updated since 2008, as most of my wise recommendees have, you're going to keep your old profile and hopefully be toward the top of the stack.

Help me understand what the new hires are bidding if we are retiring (25) 727s in 2012?

Well, I thought I had updated since then, but evidently not. Get to take that FEX again. (4th time, I think)

How involved is that FEX? Could a former mechanic pull off a 70 without a study guide?

Not very involved. Get the good stuff from sheppardair.com. Take the test 24hrs later.

grnclvrs, go to Sheppard Air Flight Test 4.0 Prep Software ATP, Flight Engineer, Mil Comp - FAA Airline Transport Pilot to obtain your test prep material and you will have no problems.

Trust everyone and go to Sheppardair.

Not sure lately. I left for the reserves in 08'. I've been waiting for the door to open up ever since. Exciting times!

Guess it has been longer than i thought since i updated..... anyway, regarding the FEX and the APP...... what if i have the FE TJ certificate? will that make it through the app filters? Technically i haven't taken the FEX since 199x, but i got certificated as an FE on a DC 10 back then as well.

If you are saying that you have your FE ticket, then you don't have to take the written again. It is just like an ATP. You will want to put that as part of your ratings in the application.
