Ok, I am calling this the "Jan 6 2020" posting

This new app is showing Active with all green checks.

NOTE my late 2019 app got locked about three weeks after the Active/All green checks status...

praying the secret sauce recipe at HR did not change over the holidays.

I applied in 2019 and my app went inactive as I’m only 2600TT at this time. Anybody know what the rough estimate is to keep the app from going inactive immediately? Want to keep an app on file but also don’t want to be wasting a total year because I submitted another app on the beginning of the year.

...

That’s a very good question but unfortunately no one here will know they real answer. We’re just regular line pilots trying to help out our future coworkers.

At least 4,000TT is a number I’ve seen being mentioned but I’m not sure if it’s set in stone.
If you have a sponsor I’d ask him or her to reach out to the HR and ask them directly.
Good luck.

Can someone clarify: what is a turboprop/turbojet instrument rating?

Do you have an ATP? I'd say that falls into the instrument rating category.

So do I leave the "do you have a commercial certificate?" as a no and leave the check boxes blank?

IMO: This isn’t a trick question designed to filter out applications, it’s a poorly worded question written by someone who either doesn’t know how to articulate or doesn’t understand the subject of the task they have been assigned. A very UPS airline experience for you, for free, before you even start the job!

How to answer it? Hopefully people who’ve gotten through recently can share what they put for this one. Maybe start a new thread with “turbojet / turboprop inst rating????” as a title to get more attention. Otherwise my two cents would be to list all your turbine type ratings and specify that they are type ratings on your ATP.

Edit to add: if it’s a y/n or checkbox question then possibly use Browndoubles suggestion above. Consider that the ATP is a certificate, not a rating though...

Best of luck.
