SF Bay Area AME's
Ditto for Stewart-Morris in OAK. Great guy, right on the OAK field. Will take airline pilots at last minute. I've used him for many years. His last name is hyphenated, and a bit hard to find in the phone directory. Skirt -

JetBlue Jan 11/12 interview news?
Its healthy for pilots to know they aren't completing against each other in the interview sessions. This type of information is available to anyone who goes to an Air Inc. conference, and interested candidates shouldn't have to shell out money to Kit Darby to hear it. Skirt -

JetBlue Jan 11/12 interview news?
There is no predetermined number of pilots needed from any interview session. No quotas, no minimum number, no maximum number. Candidates are not competing against each other. If all pilots make the cut, then 100% are passed on to phase 2. If none of them do, then 0% would be passed through... -

FedEx Pilots | need degree guidance
I have no idea what FedEx thinks about Thomas Edison. However, I do know of many pilots at several major airlines who have followed the Thomas Edison path. Even my husband (non-pilot) completed his degree there, and he was pleased. I do know they give quite a bit of credit for flight ratings... -

jetBlue Nov 2,3 interviews. Any info yet
Your hotel will be in hotel row right near MCO airport, and paid for by JetBlue. Nice rooms with small kitchettes (microwave and frig). Local joints such as Bennigans, offer good discounts for dinner. Breakfast is free at the hotel, and lunch is cheap at the training center (subsidized by the... -

Jetblue EMB rates
Hmm, let's see, the first FO's started in August, and now it is 5 months later in January. Since upgrades will be around a year, the senior FO has not yet upgraded. I just flew with one of the most senior FO's and he is looking forward to a July-August upgrade, right on schedule. Skirt -

Jetblue EMB rates
One of the very nice features of a job offer at JetBlue is that you don't have to worry about making your mortgage on EMB rates if you don't want to. All new hires are given a choice of an EMB class date or an A320 class date. So far the EMB slots go quicker than the A320 slots, so you would... -

Question to the AirTran community out there!! (all others as well :) )
The JetBlue system is set up such that you do not need to know someone to get hired. In fact, internal recommendations don't make a difference until after the interview. There is no "walking in" of applications. Many of our pilots didn't know a single JetBlue pilot before they got hired... -

jetBlue Nov 2,3 interviews. Any info yet
No big deal. Much ado about nothing. E190 pilots overcome and adapt to the changes as they come about. I don't want to hijack this thread and turn it into an E190 discussion instead of the main topic of the Nov 2/3 interviews. Skirt -

jetBlue Nov 2,3 interviews. Any info yet
The January E190 classes are all Captain upgrades. Due to the delay in E190 deliveries, the November E190 Captain slots were cancelled and turned into FO slots (double the FOs). Now they are just doubling up the Captains to make up the cancelled November training. The E190 deliveries are now... -

jetBlue Nov 2,3 interviews. Any info yet
In general it has always taken 8-9 weeks post interview to complete the entire review and make the call, and that is what everyone is told on the interview day. I remember when I went through the process it was the same thing, and many folks got the call right at the 8 or 9 week mark. Recently... -

Frontier or JetBlue?
You should do some research on both airlines to understand what are the core philosophy and financials of each of them. You will find quite a difference. With good information, you can decide which airline suits you best. A good place to start is the 2004 (JBLU) or 2005 (FRNT) Annual report SEC... -

Jet Blue Airways Which Aircraft A320 or E190??
Close to 50 E190 Captains have already been trained (out of the original 143). This includes Check Airmen, who are part of the 143. Thus, even with a delay in Captain training in November, the upgrade time is still on track for 11-12 months. At the current planning of 12 CA per month, the... -

Jetblue Nov 2 & 3 Interviews
Time in the database doesn't really have anything to do with when you get the call. Since it is an electronic database, not a paper file in some cabinet somewhere, you don't have to wait for the file to get two inches thick and ragged before your name could surface. All that matters is that your... -

Commute Question for New Yorkers...
You can get a book of 20 discount tickets on the NY Airporter for $6 a pop. You get the book by showing your airline ID at the main office at their office near Port Authority. Skirt -

Jet Blue EMB 190 Question...
A320 Captain at JetBlue is now running about 2.5 years. However, it is expected that incoming new hires in 2006 can expect maybe 3.5-4 years to A320 Captain. E190 Captain for 2006 new hires will be about 11-14 months (for those who choose the Embraer over the Airbus as a new hire). There is a... -

I Saw JetBlue in Charlotte (CLT) last week
There was indeed a JetBlue plane in CLT last week, though it was an E190, not an E170. That particular aircraft was on a proving run between JFK and Florida, when the Fed on board presented the crew with an "emergency" that required a diversion. The Captain is an ex-USAirways chap who knows CLT... -
