Hiring Times at JetBlue?

[Heavy Set]

What's the current allocation of newhires to the E190 vs. Airbus? Are newhires going forward more likely to get the E190 given the delivery schedule?

 

[sayagain?]

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that all new-hires are still getting the option of which aircraft to fly. You may have to delay a class or two if one wants a particular aircraft but it shouldn't be a long wait. However, we all know how important seniority is.


The breakdown for classes seems to run approx. 16 320 newhires and approx. 8 190 newhires every two weeks.

Good Luck.

Newhires still have a choice of aircraft. Upgrade to 190 Capt. is currently around 13-15 months, and upgrade to the Bus is 2 1/2 years.

Upgrade to the left seat of the Bus is a lot more than 2.5 years for a new hire.

Even with 140 320 fo's going to the 190? Thats 10 classes worth of upgrades gone. Current upgrade time is 2 years and 3 months. Just my 2$.
