So my Iphone e-mail goes off and I check it... It's JB notifying me that my "search criteria" has a job position that I may be interested in.... I'm curious so I log into JB's WORK HERE site... Find the req. # and here it is!!! Apparently I qualify for the Gateway VI career path and all I have to do is attend an aviation university.
With thousands of furloughed pilots is this really necessary!!!
Great, now we'll have a bunch of college kids claiming to be JetBlue pilots because they were accepted into the Gateway....:laugh:
