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.

 

[GuinessGuy]

FinsUp....Ditto

 

[GuinessGuy]

Good luck guys.............

 

[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.

 

[CaptainSpaz]

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.

slowing to 8-9% growth for 2008

 

[inthewind]

[real swift]

Just received Phase 2 notification as well.

 

[Motorradfahrer]

Phase 2 notification for me

 

[inthewind]

Mmmmm! Orlando in February, NICE!

 

[mlifly]

Anyone heard anything further than phase 2 yet???

 

[GoZags]

I'm guessing they had the day off today. Hopefully tomorrow.

 

[lookin4better]

Those of you who attended jetBlue Open Houses in thye past, about how long after did you get the interview invite ?

 

[motch]

Took them 1 week to notify me that I was in Phase 2.
Took them another 8 weeks to notify me that I wasn't selected.. LOL!

Sorry to hear that. How did you manage that? Phase 2 is mostly PRIA and background stuff.

Got a call from USIS about my dd-214 and the problems tht she ws having verifying my Independence Air employment. I got ALPA to fax a letter stating that they had received dues from me for the period 04/2003 to 01/2005

 

[motch]

Joblu..
Wish I knew!
Especially since I'm still in the Guard with a clearance, have had another background check done and cleared.. and was flying for a 121 carrier at the time.
Funny thing is, I have a friend at Blue who got turned down in Phase 2 the first time, only to get on the second time!
Also been told by a few JB folks that there have been a few classes in the past that had empty seats as people had cancelled/no showed. Not sure if that's true.. but if it is, kind sad.

Life goes on and I'm somewhere now where I'm very happy and will do all I can to make sure this place continues to grow. Also going to use my background in safety to help out the pilot group too~

 

[real swift]

Got the call for class on February 6 today.

 

[On Your Six]

Got the call for class on February 6 today.
