Jet Blue Interviews week of 1/10/08

[IslandDriver]

Anyone interview at B6 this week?

 

[Motorradfahrer]

I was in the 1/11 interview. They were saying around 50 pilots interviewing for the day. Told me to expect an email within a week either way.

 

[mlifly]

ditto!

 

[inthewind]

Same here. Heard 62 interviewed on the 10th and 48 on the 11th. Best interview experience that I've ever had!

 

[Fins Up]

Good luck everyone. I've been here for 1.75 years and I'm really happy with the job. It ain't perfect but I am still happy to come to work.

 

[real swift]

Interviewed on the 10th. It was a good interview experience, well organized and efficient.

[lookin4better]

any idea about what percentage of those interviewed are hired?

 

[Motorradfahrer]

I didn't hear any discussions of percentages hired but there were numbers like 130 interviewed this month for possible Jan/Feb groundschools. From what I hear, the training pipeline handles 30 to 40 a month so if that is the case I guess it would be around 35% that get hired. Mind you, thats just what I have "heard" so the reality could be very different and they might be hiring people for a pool. I know that on the 1/11 interview there were a bunch of guys from MaxJet who were on the street after their company went TU. Although I am hoping for a slot myself it would be good to see those guys out on the street get back to work. Like others have said though, a great experience overall and, by far, the most relaxed interview I have every been through. I guess we will know next Friday, until then :beer:

It's usually like 50% or more make it through the interview. Then around 90% make it through Phase 2.

Just curious for ya'll who just interviewed or went to an open house: What are they saying these days regarding growth and upgrade times?

 

[82spukram]

Upgrade Spaz......I thought we were getting ready to furlow

 

[CaptainSpaz]

Cripes M. don't start a furball with rumors like that!

Actually, I am interested in how mgmt is portraying the future outlook these days.
