JetBlue Hiring Question
You have to read through the job description and at the bottom there is a button for "apply now." One other tip is that you should disable all firewalls as sometimes they interfere with the application. Good luck and best wishes for a successful application and interview! Skirt -

Do I need to know someone
I did not know a soul at JetBlue when I applied. However, this board proved a valuable resource in learning about the company, learning about the process and getting to know others. Guys like JetBlue320, Blue Bayou, DLRedline, Colorado418, sidestick'n, jaxgus, bluedude, banger, AlbieF15, and... -

Anyone live near Oakland?
Another place to look in the Stockton-Tracy-Livermore area, is a little pilot ghetto called Discovery Bay and the nearby town of Brentwood. Disco bay is a cool place on the Sacramento Delta, with fishing, waterskiing and float plane flying right out the back door. Problem is, like much of CA... -

JBers, we should be more careful
Freddie, What color do you paint your nails??? I'm trying to visualize that and I can't stop laughing. Skirt -

JBers, we should be more careful
BlueDude, Well said! The place for people to air their concerns is through the avenues that have been exercised by a huge chunk of the pilot group internally. Concerns have definitely been expressed, loud an clear. Now give "D3 and A" (I love that phrase somebody wrote) time to mull this over... -

Jetblue 190 Question
Okay, so I'll bite (though I wonder why I should waste the words on you). I did have the "real" job you probably aspired to, and chose to leave for JetBlue. I have not regretted the decision. There are many here who were indeed hired at legacies of every color, most were furloughed, but some... -

Jetblue Pilot Strength and Unionizing
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Your suggestion is way too much of an over reaction for the current situation. Just because somebody lights a match doesn't mean you have to call out an entire fire department to put it out. Skirt -

jetblue EMB-190 pay??!!!
Whether right or wrong, it appears to me that this principle was indeed applied in the EMB-190 payscale compared to the A-320 payscale at JetBlue. The Airbus has 156 seats and the EMB has 100 seats. The EMB pay is very close to 100/156th (2/3) of the A320 pay (however, its interesting to note... -

jetblue EMB-190 pay??!!!
Speedbird, very well said. I have been mulling over this for the last 48 hours. Its important for everyone to relax, take a deep breath and have good solid dialog within the company, without jumping to conclusions about intentions or futures. I've worked in environments where the partial story... -

problem updating apps. at Jetblue?
If you experience trouble updating your JetBlue app. simply send a short email describing the problem to [email protected]. I just found this out myself last week, as I was inquiring for a friend who has been trying to update his app. This address is only for problems with updating an online... -

JetBlue calls are going out!
I too find it odd. Perhaps the stakes are getting so high that people are afraid to reach out. That is sad, as this place is a good resource. I learned a tremendous amount from board regulars back when I was looking from the outside-in. I now feel a strong committment to give back to those who... -

Jet Blue firing???
Nope. No firings. That would be foolish. If someone deserved to be fired, it would be independent of the 5 year deal. Skirt -

Numbers game @ B6?
Collectively, I would say that the Jetblue pilot mood is much better than the collective mood at many other airlines. Motivated pilots are much more likely to proactively ask ATC for shortcuts, direct, etc. We are all aware of the on-time stats, and work to get the planes in on time (with... -

Numbers game @ B6?
I would have to say that B6 blocks out when ready to actually leave the gate (no games played with the ACARS). Meanwhile, I also know that other airlines have been known to release the brakes (trigger ACARS-out time) even if all bags are not loaded. United was (and still is) famous for releasing... -

Jetblue ERJ's
The actual practical distance between two cities for the EMB-190 will be about 1700nm (this allows for alternate(s), headwinds, 45 min FAR fuel and contingency). While it can apparently fly 2200, that is not a good operational distance for reliability. Thus, you can expect 1700nm from a... -

How about oldest new hire?
The real winner goes to a 62 year-old new hire at United. Yep, this is 100% for real, as I know him personally. He was a Branniff guy, who was hired first as a ground school instructor for United on the 727 in the late 80's. He was in his late 50's at the time. He was my ground school... -

Delta Grounded Today
I believe Jetblue has around 90 crewmembers total per plane, and Delta has over 100. It could be done. True, easier to route 57 planes than 400+, however, management has to have a corporate structure and culture that motivates line employees. Again, easier to do with 6000 employees than 60,000... -

Delta Grounded Today
There is a huge corporate virus (of the computer kind) running around airline systems right now. The same problem hit Jetblue yesterday, but funny thing is....we didn't ground flights. All ops went to manual backup for scheduling, dispatch, gate and ticket ops. There were a few short delays, but... -
