jetBlue May 2nd interview

[umass@ss]

I'm in phase 2 from the may 2nd interview and am wondering if anyone made it beyond yet? Lots of talk going on about reduced classes has me wondering.

Congrats on Phase 2. Since you're military your background check likely won't take long. There has been no class reductions, everything is going according to the plan all along (i.e normal summer slowdown). I'm in class now so I know firsthand. One more class of 12 starting June 6th (all A320) then no more for a couple months. If you haven't heard by now, you will likely be waiting til Aug or so for a class. In the interim get your apps in at Delta, NJA, or wherever else you might be interested.

Good luck!

Dude,
Thanks for the info...looks like we have similar backgrounds with the Galaxy. I have apps out in a few places, we will see what happens.

Class Dates

O.K. I KNOW people are getting calls from this group. FESS UP!

 

[Whiskerbizkit]

Since there are no classes in July, they may be back to the old way of completeting Phase 2 before calls go out. It use to take up to 8 weeks to here after the email.

Nope, calls are being made for AUG classes, so who's in? (although I do see what you mean. these folks could have Phase 2 complete.)

 

[aewanabe]

Actually there's still a VERY few of us from the April 13th Phase 2 group still waiting on calls. I guess the phantom June 20 class is a no-go?

 

[Longhorn]

The june 20th orientation has been on the training schedule until yesterday. Now, there is nothing. So, they were late on pulling it off the schedule.

 

[learflyer]

anyone who attended the LAST job fair get called for an interview? Guess they didn't care that I showed up.

 

[CheckandSet]

I'm in phase 2 may 2nd and not a PEEP!

 

[umass@ss]

OK,
Verna called last night and put me in the 6/6 class. I guess there was a cancellation. Good thing I was un-employed. She said the next class would be mid August for the A320, and no 190 on the horizon. Good luck to you all. Let me know if I can help with something.

[52560]

Any idea on the interviewed/hired ratio at jetBlue?

 

[Longhorn]

Phase II is very high. At that point, the only way to not get the job is to have not put something on your app or fessed up about something important. I would guess its in the 95% and higher for phase II

Does ground school go Mon-Fri or is there some other schedule?

Is it easy to get by in training without a car? I.e., is there a supermarket nearby?

Do flight benefits start right away? (meaning things like interline passes for the whole family, not jumpseat privileges.)

Do parents get travel privileges?

 

[Longhorn]

Ground school is NOT Monday through Friday. It is scattered throughout and you are in class on the weekends for a few of the weeks.

Yes, you can get buy without a car. There is a publix way down the road (and someone usually has a car there). There is also plenty of room for exercise, doing your laundry, dinning out and lots a few bars. Since I lived in Florida when I was in upgrade, I was there with my car. The guys that were new hires just used mine while I was there. I just asked for them to be easy on it and put gas in it for me.

Flight Benifits I think start right away. You, your spouse, kids and parents all are eligable for free flights anywhere on JB, and pass agreements with almost all of the other airlines.

 

[Lebowski]

Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for.

 

[pikepilot]

If you can't find someone with a car the JB shuttle does a supermarket run a few times a week...you definitely do not need a car. Everything important, except for the supermarket, is within walking distance. The hotel is very nice and accommadating. You get flight bennies within a few days, just make sure to bring your docs...marriage license, birth certificates, etc. They will also positive space a significant other down to MCO for your orientation.

 

[Lebowski]

Thanks to both PikePilot and Longhorn. I appreciate the info.

 

[feitinger]

Whaaahoooo!!!!

See ya on Aug 15th:beer: !!

 

[feitinger]

How it happened.

Let me divuldge a little more on the notification process, since many of you have asked.

I recieved a call from Verna herself at about 1400 today, that's 5 weeks from when I interviewed. Her words were "I have good news, your background has cleared. We would like to offer you the job! We have classes on Aug. 15th or Aug twenty something (All I heard was the 15th:0 ). Congratulations and welcome!"

Sooo, maybe the order you are called has to do with when your background clears?

Oh and thats right, two classes in AUG. Mixed a/c type.

 

[aewanabe]

Called today! See ya August 15!

 

[herkdude]

Don't give up hope, you never know

 

[LUV2FLYLOUIE]

Still waiting!!!!!! Getting worried.

 

[CaptainSpaz]

If you interviewed in May, I wouldn't worry at all yet.

 

[Cookie Monster]

If you interviewed in May, I wouldn't worry at all yet.

What about if you interviewed in April? Would you be worried?

 

[herkdude]
