It seems we have reached the conclusion that no one knows the secret sauce. Who knows what means what. Best of luck to all you gents and may the phone calls come quickly....

I'm not sure what would disqualify me either although I know that I screwed up the response on hours in last 24 months I think I put my hours for the last 12...also didn't check yes for commercial as well as ATP. I think the difference is guys that get Hogan invites don't get the not selected for testing at this time response.

I never received the "Not selected" message. I have not received any invites.

I also never got an email about my app expiring/needing to do a new one that many others got, so maybe they just don't want to talk to me.

Apps from last year and from this week both say On File with the green thumbs up. Got the instant "no further testing" message this time, also.

Mil fighter background with lower total time, but well over 1000 TPIC, masters, IP time, ATP and a type rating, no black marks on the 'ol record.

FWIW, over on the RST UPS page on Facebook lots of people with quals much stronger than mine are reporting the same instant TBNT. The guy who runs it said he'd try to get more info and make sure it isn't another HR glitch, since it seems strange so many extremely qualified candidates would get instantly rejected.

Saw that same post in RST.

While I haven't received the message(s), as referenced in my post above yours, there are guys in RST with a lot more time/quals than me that got the "No further testing" message. Hope it's just a glitch for everyone.

A page on Facebook. It provides "The scoop" on UPS. "Ready, Set, Takeoff" is the company. All kinds of information available, and the website provides study material galore for multiple airline interviews.

There are RST UPS, Delta, and United Facebook pages that I know of.

I'm sorry if this is a silly question or I'm reading too much into it, but I have another application question..... under section 1 of the flight crew application supplement there is a Flight Engineer Written section. In that same section there is a box for solo date. Are they wanting the date you soloed before getting your Private or is this something that pertains strictly to FEs that I don't know about?

The same thought crossed my mind; however, if you look at the dividing lines that separate each section, it seems like this relates to FE.
That was my best guess anyways.

How do you solo as an FE? I have a full FE turbojet certificate - but don't think the "solo" they asked referred to that. Yes, the spacing of the question does seem to make it look like it...but it didn't make any sense to me. I put the date of my first solo (before my private). Another one of the mysteries of the UPS application process.

Good question. I don't know much about FE duties. Didn't make sense to me either.
