1. Pay is Ok. Cleared 7k last month w/17 days off.

Not trying to start trouble at all I just want to know for my own decision making process. For the record I think JetBlue is a classy operation with a CEO who is the only airline CEO in the country right now willing to try to change things instead of raiding his company for millions of dollars every year. I assume you are a Captain.....7 grand a month equates to 84,000 a year. Is that representative of what a JetBlue Captain will make on average per year? Do you really have to fly your arse off in order to make well over 100,000 a year? I heard that the guys who've been there the longest had a decent schedule making about 160,000 a year (money in the bank, not using 401K).

Again, I am not here to bash on JetBlue or the folks who work there, in fact I smile every time I see one of your 320's go by.

He mentioned he "netted" 7K a month; ie after taxes. With the medical premium deduction ($236), 15% 401K, 10% CSPP (stock purchase), Federal, State, Medicare, yada, yada - he's probably grossing 12K a month.

Just a guess.

majordavid,

Apply..... It's not 1000 turbine PIC, just 1000 pic. It used to be turbine but it was changed about 1 1/2 years ago. I'm not sure how the "new" online app is but update as often as you can. (once or twice a month) Most importantly, change the date you can start to two weeks from your update every time. If you dont your profile won't even show up when they are doing a search for apps.

Hope that helps. Sorry about that gun that pointed your way. You must be at Air Wis.

Do you need an ATP to apply there?

(Sadly, I do not have it... and it is wreaking havoc with my job search as my furlough approaches.)

You don't need one to apply, but you need one to get an interview or get hired.


Why don't you go get one?

You're an AA FO and you don't have an ATP???? Heck, can't you do that during your next PC? I'm assuming you couldn't have done it during your last initial?

If you can't do it at the school house, I agree with the previous poster..head out to the airport, get a bit of dual, and knock it out.

Thats funny Tony......

You read the part about the trash pickup but you seem to have missed the part about the ATP requirement.

To correctly answer the man's question, I/A/W the web site, an FAA ATP and Class I Medical is required.

But the encouraging words for him/her to go get one were nice (and condescending).

Have a good day!

Correct. It was not, and still is not, a requirement here at AA.

I'd have to see if it can be done during recurrent... I'm not too sure it can be administered without an FAA designee. (Company check airman may not be able to do it.)

Unfortunately the cheapest price I found for an ATP was to the tune of $900.. which is to say, I'm gonna have to wait.

Anybody know how firm the 1000 hrs in a/c over 20,000lbs is? I've got over 1000 pic in the Jetstream 32 (16,204lbs) and heard they used to make an exception to this rule for the J32. Just heard that from a friend though. Other than that I meet all the other reqs. Is it worth sending in my stuff?

 

[011-34]

There is hope to getting hired without knowing anyone there. I did. You still have to have 3 lor's from people that you have flown with. Those people will get a call and asked the same questions you get at the interview.

Do they call them before or after your interview?

Indeed this is a requirement to apply. In fact when you fill out the application online, I believe it will kick back to you if you don't meet the minimums. Sorry about that, but due to the fact that there are over 10,000 pilots in the database that do meet the minimums, I doubt that the minimums will be lowered. However, persistence does pay off in this business, so I encourage you to keep at it.

Thanks Skirt. Thats too bad. Hopefully this will change sometime, but hey it's all about supply and demand, right!

Well, I tried to be cute, but I obviously missed. Yes, I noticed it says an ATP is a requirement, and even that it states that the Applicant "MUST meet all of the minimum qualifications in order to apply." However, I took a look at the online application and surmised that it would be possible to complete the online application without an ATP, so one "could" apply without the ATP. Of course, that application would not be considered, but ... well, nevermind.

Furthermore, I did not intend to be condescending in advising the poster to go get an ATP. With the hours and experience, it should be little trouble, and it certainly would be an asset in a job search.

I'm sorry if I rubbed up against a nerve.

Thanks for the well wishes. You likewise.

I looked at the online application the other day and noticed that all major aicraft were already in the system, however, it had an option for "other" and was wondering if they want all the small cessna time (152/172/182/210)???

It doesn't look like it, but I thought I'd ask if anyone else was including this time???

PS...anyone have an update on the competitive times JB is currently using...Thanks
