jet blue requirements for emb 190

[saviboy]

hi
does someone know what the minimum requirements will be like for the EMB 190 at Jet blue?
thanks

I would expect no change to hiring requirements. They'll be hired as JetBlue pilots, not E-190 pilots, so the same criteria apply. There will be no "E-190 division" or separate pool of pilots.

I really like how people think that just because the plane is smaller, that the mins should be lowered too. It's a friggin' 90 seat airplane!

Hi Saviboy!

Virtually all airlines have one set of requirements to get hired.

U interview, get hired, and, usually in indoc, they either assign U to your aircraft or U get to bid for them in some format.

For example, if hired at NWA, U may go to the DC-9, Airbus-320, 757, etc. depending on the needs of the company.

There are a few, usually small, companies that have different requirements for different planes (or seat positions)-corporate jobs are often this way.

IIRC, they spell out their requirements very clearly. What you posted was their competitive times from the latest people they've hired/interviewed.
