JetBlue Application Window Opens Dec 1st

[curtaindriver]

Thank you! Any idea how many are hired from the 50? Potentially all, or is there a fairly reliable percentage?

No idea how many, potentially all yes. But, I think I've heard the 75% range. We want to hire you, you've been invited to interview because your experience warrants it.........your personality eventually wins it.
Good luck, it's not perfect.......but it's a good place to work.

Oh, my friend who interviewed on the 8th got the thumbs up for phase 2. So the calls are going out.

So I guess I only have one other question...which is better for crashpads, JFK or BOS?
Thanks

I've been based at both. JFK is nice because there's plenty to do around Kew, crashpads can be had pretty cheap, and the company shuttle takes a lot of the transportation burden off you. When I was based at BOS there were only a few pads, most of which were accessible from the T in a so-so neighborhood. (Orient Heights, Revere Beach). The base has tripled in size since then, so I imagine there are more options now.

The seafood is better in BOS

What's to say that someone gets turned down and then re-interviews and gets hired. Did he/she revamp their personality overnight. I think there is something else going on too. With people having Blue Darts and having been to the MCO Invite Only Party in May there is more afoot then just being "Guy Smiley" at the interview. The JetBlue process today is new HR and a new hiring team than ALL of the previous hires. I'm not saying personality is a part of things, for sure it is, but this is still a market of around 20-30% qualified pilot unemployment and companies have the pick of the litter. Good luck and hold on.

I'm not exactly sure what your post means.....so I apologize. But, people that I know who have been turned down and then hired later.......usually admit to nerves gettin the best of em in the 1st round. You're correct, it's not all personality.....obviously because we have some complete TOOLS working here, but it's a major component. All I can say is, the friends I have here, mostly have great personalities, and the guys I know who didn't get hired....don't.

LOL!! I meant that there is more than just personality going on in the hiring right now at B6. There will always be TOOLS that slip through the cracks and nerves can certainly play a part for interviewing mistakes. Its good to know that B6 will reinterview and hire on second attempts. I think that's a solid policy, especially for people who really WANT to work there.

 

[whippingboy]

or maybe you should give one of the hundreds of other applicants a chance

 

[BeachBummer]

Got a friend who got the call to interview. No open house, also got turned down in 07'.

 

[Dooker]

Anybody know if they're done calling everybody from the most recent application window?

 

[Cavity]

I hope not!!

 

[Sioux115]

Has anyone been called from the recent application window? Most posters replying seem to be from earlier windows.

I was in the May window, but a friend of mine just got called last week from this month's window. He's interviewing on the 11th.

They need to make the windows bigger and take the screens out, if you ask me.

What are your friends' credentials/time? Just curious...

 

[petitepilot]

I know 2 who got called last week. No May Fair. 121 and corporate, 6000 plus, no military, great people. One of them was told as of day 6 of the window being open there were over 6000 apps. Good luck to them!

He's like me. We are both former Airborne Express guys, flew the DC-9 for 10+ years until DHL decided to pull the plug on the US market.

I just got offered the January 5th class this afternoon.

20 vacancies in BOS after the system bid... -1 in JFK.... Most new hires will probably go to BOS! GOOD LUCK!!! Great place to work!!!!

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it. This will be airline number six and hopefully the last one. As much as I enjoyed flying the 767, that long-haul international flying is just not for me.
