JetBlue hiring anymore?

[JDREsquire1224]

What's the deal with JetBlue hiring? They had their window open about a month ago, are they still reviewing applications? Have they made all the calls? Anyone hear from them? Anything??

Check the "LCC" section.

The skinny: yes we are interviewing. We are hiring 200-300 a year indefinitely. People have been hearing things, but the calls will likely slow soon, we are developing a large pool.

And because of the massive amount of retirements kicking in in 2 years you will move up the list at lightning speed.........................................

Noone is allowed to know the retirement rate at jetblue. Its a secret. One pilot tried to gather data for a list and was stopped by the company.

FK JB they turned down a personal friend of mine who was far qualified and a 17 year Navy Serviceman. He had over 5000TT with over 2000PIC turbine. Masters Degree. Fluent in 3 languages. Married 2 daughters. Loyal American. The hiring process is such discriminatory BS.

Everyone who interviews is qualified. Some get hired, some don't.

But can he pass an interview?

And, yes, the hiring process at every airline is discriminatory. That's kind of the point.

We all have a story after a while.

I know of a friend that interviewed and was incredibly qualified to the point of having trained a lot of the airlines instructors in the past as a contract instructor...they were all shocked when he didn't get hired....turns out he said something really stupid in the interview....I wouldn't have hired him after that either.....

This is what people fail to realize. Many people just don't answer the questions properly or they don't come of as genuine or humble. You would be shocked at how arrogant some of the interviewees are. We have quite a few of those types here now and the company is trying to not add more.

Loyal American. .

Seriously? Did he wear if flag tie?

It might have been because he married 2 daughters.

My experiences:

5,000tt for a military dude is an okay amount, but 5,000 over 17 years is not much flying.

Masters Degree - who cares.

Fluent in 3 languages - only needs to be fluent in English.

Married - shows commitment, but doesn't help one fly. Actually will complain 16days/mo when he's gone.

2 daughters - who cares.

Loyal American - As long as we don't commit treason, we're all loyal American's

Interviews are nothing but CRAZY. You have to shine like precious metal, dazzle, sell youself in 1 hr, and not step on your d!ck one single bit. Even great people fail. Don't hate JB, hate the game.

We've all seen great folks shot down.

WTF is this crap? Married w/ 2 daughters? Huh? Since when has procreation qualified someone for anything? "Loyal American?" How do you quantify that? This might be one of the dumbest things I've read on this forum.

BTW, 5K total with 2K PIC turbine is painfully average. How many RJ Capt's out there right now sport that or more time on their resume? Hell, some of them may have even had successful sex resulting in offspring.

I was thinking the same thing.

Thanks for typing it out for me.

5000tt = low time in today's market.

 

[Deli Guy]

So the guy flew 294.1 hours a year. Was he a fighter guy or a P3 guy?

 

[AlbieF15]

(Insert shameless plug for interview prep here).

Yeah...I've got a company that has helped over 500 apiece at Jetblue, SWA, and FedEx. What I often find remarkable is who DOES do the preps, the who doesn't. Often the pilots wanting the preps would have been successful anyway, but many who know the didn't need it find out they are wrong.

My group isn't the only one out there, but a little practice and polish go a long way. Get some help--somewhere--and you'll probably be glad you did. Much better to kick yourself for over prepping and wasting a little money than sitting around wishing you'd done it...

AND hes Current 121 for a Regional

Oh, well that changes everything.

The process is BS. We are passing on guys with twice that amount of time for guys that barely meet the mins because they can be better assimilated into the JB culture. I've had a few friends shot down at JB with more time than that and 121 experience. I talked to the guy that did the exit interview for one of them. He said, he was pulling for him, but the two that did the main interview could not get past the fact that he did not fly JB up to the interview. They said that since he had never flown JB before, he should have have taken the 2 hops through FLL instead of driving the 5 hours. He explained to them that he was from NYC and he wanted to visit family while there. It didn't matter. He also had rec letters from 2 JB Capts and a JB FO. None of us got a call to ask about him.

Being able to BS your way through an interview shouldn't be what gets you hired at a major airline. We have plenty of DBs that were great at interviewing, it doesn't mean I want to fly with them.

Daryl is a real piece of ******************** but aside from that your buddy knew how retarded we are in hiring. He should have sucked it up and flew on a JB flight. You and I both know our hiring is BS but you have to play the game. SWA, you buy a type. Uniteds antagonistic interview,
American wants Mil. It's all a game you have to play.
