UPS App Question

On the Flight Engineer Written portion of the UPS app they ask for dates of the FEB, FEJ and Flight Engineer FEX. What's the difference between these three? My FEw "grade sheet" says Basic and Turbojet on it. Do I put the same date in all three spots on the app?

Thanks

From what I remember, the FEX is the combined basic and turbojet test. If you took the combined test, then just put one date in the FEX spot.

Thanks Goddard,
I moved it up to this Wednesday. I'm flying out of BHM tomorrow. If I pass the panel interview in Newark I have to go to Houston date TBD to pass the sim. I'll give you a call Wednesday afterwards and let you know how it went.

Goddard,

Can we assume you were put on the 8? If so, front or back?

Yep, back seat of the 8. I'm loving it. It has to have the easiest schedule of anything here.

Yeah, they are great schedules. The seat can sometimes be a hassle though. I did 3+ years and a little IOE on it. If you are doing it by the book it is the highest workload of all the fleets (pre-departure).
