Jan 03 jetBlue Interviews????

[F82C]

Anyone know if jetBlue will be conducting interviews in Jan 03? And are there any "trip reports" for those who hope for an future interview?
Thanks.

I was at the JetBlue interview 05Dec and at that time I did hear someone mention that they conduct interviews every other month. So if that is true, then Iwould expect interviews to be held in Feb.
Numbers seem to back that up, training classes every month of 24-26 and interviews of 60-65 every other month.
THats about all I know!

You are correct.

We interview bi-monthly now. Next interviews will be Feb.

Happy landings

Actually, I just got an Email from Bernice for an interview on Jan 15th. It is very soon, and I am a little worried about prep time. I have a few friends there, so I hope to get lots of info from them. I will be running around gathering paperwork for the next week and I hope it all goes well. She said they have a pretty big pool, so IF I make it, I should expect a class sometime in March. They are planning two classes in March. No more interviews till April.

Geez,

I apologize for bad gouge on the interview dates. Obvious that line pilots just don't know what they think is the most current info.

I guess being in a constant state of fluctuation is the word of the day for any airline.

Happy landings

Malibu,

Congrats on the interview!

The hardest part of the interview is getting the paperwork done but no preparation is needed for this... just some Advil. There are no technical questions or simulator checks to prepare for, just a 2 on 1 interview. So, to sharpen your interview skills it would be good to review answering questions in a SAR format(Situation Action Results). By reviewing the SAR format you are less likely to answer the question, "Have you ever busted a FAR?" with just "Yes." Again, you want them to get to know you!

Anyway, if you would like some interview preparation for jetBlue I would strongly recommend Emerald Coast Aviation Consulting at http://hometown.aol.com/ahaganf15/myhomepage/business.html

The interview prep is done over the phone and at $125, with a money-back guarantee if you are not hired, it is too good to pass up. It is well worth the money and they prep for jetBlue and FDX.

You will usually see their advertisement in the upper left corner of the FlightInfo website. And no, I do not receive kickbacks nor do I work for them but I have used their services.

Good luck!!

What are the competitive hours for military pilots?

Thanks

I'm no expert on what is considered competetive but I can say I have seen a few newhires in the 2000 to 3000 range and some with over 6000 (mostly retirees). The majority seem to be somewhere in the middle... 3000 to 5000. I hope this helps.

Several fighter guys I know got on with about 2500TT, but keep in mind about 2250 of that was PIC turbine.

I got hired with 3400 TT, about 700 civ, 500 multi-turbo prop, and the rest PIC turbine. Don't know what a mil "heavy driver" needs, but PIC turbine > 1500 seems to at least get you a look.

Good luck!

Toad,
I had about 2500 C-5 (1200 pic) and 700 T-34 time. When you do all the conversions and subtractions and the differential calculus to come up with the "military adjusted" time, it was about 3400 hours. (funny how it would have worked out the same if I had just added the two times together). I think that was about the average time for a trash-hauler. Most of the guys I know that are getting interviews are still around that total time.
