B6 Hiring/Classes

[Baronman]

So I see that JetBlue is hiring and has their app window open...Are they hiring anticipating summer flying?

Are there currently classes running and any scheduled?

Thanks-

 

[Smarta$$]

Yes, yes.

Wow, way to answer his questions. Last I recall, B6 had pilots in a pool for over a year and then called them with class dates. Some had been swimming a LONG time and finally got classes. Then B6 continued having class dates without any hiring window open, so excuse you for people not knowing what exactly is going on with B6. And, most JetBlue threads are dozens of pages long, most of them b**** sessions of pro-union versus non-union, and about 6 of the same people going back and forth over and over. So please excuse the original author of this thread for starting a new thread to get a straight, no BS answer.

The Rob was in OSC this past week and said "net" hires for 2013 were planned to be 100 - 150.

To date about 40 have been hired.

Does anyone know if there is a seat lock for new-hires or can you bid over to another airplane as soon as you can hold it? I'm aware there are various seat locks but I wasn't sure about for new-hires.

Interviews and classes?
Does it help to have internals to at least get to an interview? And do they still do two seperate interviews sessions?

Don't be a d!ck.

Don't be a d!ck.

That should be the number one rule in this industry. Too many people get away with it.

I could have asked more direct questions...I know the application window was open. Something more along the lines of, what class dates are currently scheduled? How often does jetBlue run classes when they're hiring full-tilt?

Thanks though....I hope to get there someday.

Not sure about classes, but at 'full tilt' this company does 2 classes a month with 25 a class. We have had classes that are bigger, but then things start to clog a bit in the sims. I've seen 65 done in a month, it was doable but not ideal.
