Jetblue June 3 interview results

[milehigh6080]

Has anyone who interviewed with JetBlue on June 3 heard anything yet? Have any of the people who wrote your recommendations been contacted? Thanks, and good luck to everyone who interviewed or has an interview coming up.

The emails are going out! I just got word that I'm being moved along into Phase 2. Good luck everyone!

May I ask if your FI stats are current? I.e. total time? What about your PIC Turbine? Types? 121 or 135 background?

 

[milehigh6080]

Stats are current, my background is freight flying- PIC in a caravan for about 1200 hours and a boat load of Lear SIC time, then I've been at NetJets for the past 3 years, currently furloughed. That's why my time building stalled- I flew a total of 385 hours in my 3 years at NetJets . . . no wonder we furloughed.

Congrats. I'm still hopeful that not all the interview calls have gone out. I did the open house last month, thought it went well, but I haven't heard a peep since then.

same here did the open house as well... are the one being called got bluedarts?

 

[milehigh6080]

No bluedart for me, but I do have an internal rec. I think just about everyone who has been invited to the open house and interview also has one.

I see.. i had some internal rec as well and i went to the open house and got nothing as of yet. I guess i got to keep some faith.goodluck to all.

I've heard more calls are coming, but just not when. I honestly think they still don't know how many they're gonna need. I did notice the application has been turned off, so hopefully that's not a bad sign for those of us still waiting.

I am estimating about 50 each day, for a total of approx. 150.

That is pretty interesting. Many of the experts on flight info would probably think a guy with your stats would have no chance. Caravan time doesn't count, sic time doesn't count, 3500 hours isn't enough......but here you are. 1000's of pilots looking to move on to a better job probably have more PIC time than you have total time but either way hiring departments always like to have a mix in each class. Allegiant does it the same way. I always think it is funny when the experts are wrong.

I'm glad they were wrong too!

I honestly didn't expect much when I applied. I kept telling my wife not to get her hopes up because I definitely don't look as good on paper as a lot of the guys out there who are applying. Regardless, I've always been of the opinion that you should apply to any job you want whether or not you feel you're competitive. It's not my job to decide if I'm competitive, that responsibility lies with the recruiters. It's my job to see how my skills and personality traits line up with what the employer is looking for and sell myself as a perfect match to them if they decide to give me a shot at interviewing. People put too much emphasis on flight times and not enough emphasis on interviewing skills. I think interviewing skills are one of the most underrated aspects of building a successful career, aviation or otherwise.

My JB story:

I applied to JB 10 hours after the application window was opened on April 30. I networked with every JB pilot I knew... Happened to be 3 pilots. One really took me under his wing and sent me the Open house RSVP within 1 hour of him receiving it via email. I then filled it out and sent it in a couple hours later. I was invited to the Open house in orlando. I attended along with 300 other applicants. I was called May 28 to interview in NY on June 9. There were 50 people interviewd June 9th..( 150 total i believe) I passed the interview and was notified June 16th that I am in Phase II and the background check.

Total time 4500, 1100 PIC, 100 PIC Turbine, 700 Jet, 2500 Turboprop, ... two type ratings and an sic type... non military, mix of 121 and fractional experience....there is much more to my life than flying... on paper and in reality...I consider myself diversified...

Good luck to all that are interested....I am very excited about this opportunity

Congrats! Hopefully Phase II will go quickly and painlessly- reading some old threads from the last time they hired, I think we're in for an emotional roller coaster while they do their due diligence on us. 90-95% of people make it through though, so I'm sure we'll be going to class at some point, hopefully sooner than later from my unemployed perspective.
