Jet Blue picking up Turbo Prop guys?

[ProPilot5]

I keep hearing rumors that some 1900 drivers had gotten on, but not sure of their background. Application still requires 20K+lbs.

Any chance for a strickly Beech 1900 turbo prop driver at JetBlue? No real contacts...

Thanks

As far as I know the 20K still stands.

Mr Wu, is that a sticker or t-shirt on your avatar? I would love to get one!!!

Back to the thread.

I had truckloads of SIC and PIC time in the 1900 but went to a regional for 2+ years for the 20K+ time. The CRJ time helped alot with the glass and Jet time. I had no Jet PIC though.

There was a guy in class with 0 20K+ time tho but it was in a light jet.

I hope we hire more turboprop guys, from what I've seen they're real sharp, flying high reps, up and down all day long. I like "commuter" guys and freight dogs because we've been in the trenchs.
