"went to airinc in DCA and asked this exact question to an "interviewing" pilot and he said it was fine that it was expired. They get a waiver from the SDF FSDO. Dont waste the time, money or effort." Skippy
Called my friend at OKC fsdo; there’s no such thing as “a waiver from FEX written expiration.”
If you’ve been gone from a 121 gig for more than 24 hours, it is NOT valid, no exceptions. He said that the part 121 FE written “carry-over rule” (that’s what he called it) initially was meant for people who were working for a company and who one day would have to move to a different position WITHIN the same company. The feds never anticipated that people would be “taking their 5 year old FE written exams with them to a new company"; however, since they unintentionally created a loophole people are now using it. Nevertheless, not sure why you were told that they have a “waiver” for the currency since there is no such thing.
Btw, anyone going to an interview risking a multi-million dollar career just so he/she can skip retaking a written exam is, in my mind, extremely unwise.
“Dont waste the time, money or effort.” Maybe it was their way of telling you not to waste their time???
