Jet Blue Application

[joepilot29]

For the people like myself who have 0 part 121 PIC did you select "less then 1000 hrs" on your app. Was looking at my profile and it just says "no data available." Curious if I should have selected that. Technically 0 is less then 1000 last I checked.

I am wondering if JB's system views my app as incomplete since I didn't select it.

I'm no expert but I believe 0 is less than 1000. If you have less than 1000 then you would select the "less than 1000" box...If you had 1001 PIC hrs. you'd select the >1000 box....It's not a trick question. Pretty cut and dry IMO

Bri5150........I hope you do get a call for an interview. We all know that the invite is the biggest hurdle........but the turboprop only thing can be an issue........coming from a perspective of "in the know". Some....SOME......turboprop only guys have a problem with energy management. Screaming out of the sky at 340kias to get down, but they are way to fast for a speed restriction and thus taking 10 miles to slow down.....but then they can't get down and slow down. etc etc. For whatever reason, they are getting their a$$es kicked trying to get out of altitude.
There are not big windmills out there to "push-up" to slow you on a dime. We all know that in a TP, you can do 250 to the fence, and still get it in the touchdown zone.
You TP only guys can thank the few people that came here and struggled.
The training dept guys then look at the backgrounds of some of the "special cases" and see that the guy was flying Q's or SAABs at a previous carrier and say "Ah ha, that's the reason!"
The school house is so slammed, that it'll take a few days to get sim availability to redo a lesson or a portion of a lesson. It boils down to training dollars and time. They want to reduce the probability of increasing both.......

Good post, thank you. This will all be a moot point real soon. It looks like I will be displaced to the 200 so I am sure the calls for interviews will just roll in after I get that type.:beer:

ok guys explain this one for me.... I looked at my "profile overview" on the website where it listed the previous times you have applied. (for me it was 12/10 and 09/11).... and then out to the right it would say "under consideration"...... I checked it today and the it still shows the apps but instead of under consideration, it is just blank...under consideration is gone. does that mean anything??? have I been rejected???

If you log into your JetBlue application you'll see some fine print at the top in grey letters, maybe this would explain what you're seeing:

"Thank you for your interest in opportunities at JetBlue Airways. As we receive a high volume of online applications, you will no longer be able to view your status in the process. Please do note that JetBlue's Talent Acquisition Team will only contact those candidates who meet the minimum qualifications AND are most competitive."

My Saab turbo prop has a sticker on it that says "GE jet power". There is my explanation. I think the line below the one in question starts saying turbo-jet. I marked it as 1000+ pic in jet powered aircraft.

You're an idiot!

You're an idiot!

Thank you for your timely, educated, and worthwhile response.

Bri5150.......I wish I could "pin" you now so you can get the interview (I'm not a PINS dude) instead of having to go through your "displacement" training, then get hired here just to go through training again.........it's a pain in the a$$, but that's the way it is for now.......

Also.....as you can see.....a SAAB type carries a lot of weight with me........

Guinessguy interview conversation: "I see you did a Thunderbird tour, and you're a Patch wearer, but you gotta tell me some good SAAB stories......"

I was just talking with my FO about how we defend the Saab now, but when we are off it we will probably rip it to shreds. . I honestly don't mind training at all. It will be nice to learn a new aircraft. I am not lookong forward to going to Memphis though.

I went to update my times on the pilots only section in the Jet Blue candidate profile and all my previous times were deleted... Anyone else have this problem? I've updated it every week or so just to keep my times current but this is the first time my previous info hasn't been in there...

Been on a couple of jets since the Saab, and neither are as much fun to fly as the 'Swedish ass numb-er.' Good luck in Memphis

Same thing for me... Do you by chance fly Convair's with Sammy Sosa??

"my" FO...

C'mon... really, stop with that stupidity, you seem like a smart guy. Please tell me you do not have a 747 sticker on your bag either.

And when I was an FO I said "my" captain. Is there really something wrong with that? I guess I probably said "the" flight attendant when I was an FO. Come to think of it, I might still say that. What does that mean? "The" FO, FA and I are a team that work together for a safe flight. Oh, here's another one. I say "the" wife....oh god...:cartman:

GUY'S AND GAL'S RELAX THEY WILL CALL. If your lucky enough to get called relax the job is your's. Remember all the majors will be hiring in the next year or two. J.B. is a good place to work, but not the only place to work. It will happen for the majority of you, so chill out and wait for your call.

Trust me it will happen over time

Not a good place to work. Medical just got raised to $666 a month for a family of 4. Can any of you afford to pay three times as much as you do currently at American Eagle?

 

[flyhawk]

I'm still getting over the sticker shock when I read that little book they sent. When you add it all up (medical, dental, vision, etc.), it ends up costing $740 / month for the family plan!!!! It makes me sad, no upset, no angry! Absolutely ridiculous!!
