Jet Blue Instuctor Pay?

[asarjfo]

Looking for info on Jet Blue instructor pay, schedules, preferential hiring, etc.....

Any info would be apprectiated.

Pay is $65.000. Schedule is 10 days off a month. It would probably help if you lived in MIA or MCO for qol. JetBlue used to give every instructor an interview after two years. I'm not sure if they are still doing that. It would probably be hard not to get hired.... unless you were no fun to work with! Hope that helps.

Is it true that all JetBlue pilots are only on 5 year contracts? So if Big Brother doesn't like you your job is gone? This sucks the big one. You guys need a union to represent your pilots,

The thing that they are looking for is that can you teach or just dictate. More than one "Alpha Hotel" instructor have been let go because they were jerks. If you are good people with a good personality, you'll get the job and do well. The word from the Training Center is though, we are hiring professional instructors. In other words, if you're trying to get a pilot slot through the instructor route, it's not going to happen. At least that's the word today. All training will be in MCO by June so plan on living there. Not to bad a place so I've been told. Ten days off a month, flexibility is required, but some guys come in and do a four hr. sim. session and go home. Anyway, Best of Luck!

Yes, Capt. X..... We only get a five year contract after that we look for another job. We also have to clean the plane on turns. If your the most jr person on the crew (pilots & FA's) you have to clean all 3 lavs. On the walk around the FO has to clean the carbon dust off the brakes. Do you think a union could help us with that?

It gets better. JetBlue doesn't pay for airplanes, gates, landing fees or jet fuel. That's why JetBlue is making money.
