JetBlue hiring.

[CapnVegetto]

How has the US Government done running the VA healthcare system? How many proud veterans have died due to fraud and abuse at the VA?

Here is the answer right here. How in the hell could the government run healthcare for the entire country??? They can't even run the damn VA worth a crap.

 

[BUDDHA145]

Yep, just like previous military intelligence found WOMD in Iraq! [emoji83]

Calls

Has JetBlue started calling folks from this last app window?

 

[CapnVegetto]

Don't know. They don't tell us anything. We didn't even know when the damn app window was was opening until you all did.

Hopefully someone will post when they start making calls.

 

[GuppyPuppy]

I'm guessing that we won't interview until October.

Pool is quite full now and we still have candidates from 3/19&20, all of April and May interviews still waiting for a call for a class date. Earliest class date for any of these folks would be 9/10. I don't have exact numbers of class sizes, but I think attrition has been less than planned leading to smaller class sizes.

There will be two interview dates in September and two in October. Not sure after that.

Successful candidates will likely be placed in a class in the first half of 2015.

Good luck.

From the other forum:

 Competitive is over 5000 hours civilian or over 2000 hrs military fighter or 3500 military
transport/trainer
 More than half of applicants have JetBlue referrals, and 85% have bachelor?s degree. To

3000 applicants meet that threshold
 2013 ? We hired 269 pilots

[CapnVegetto]

Well. He is right. We did get an email telling us the window would be open.

I never got it. All I got was the email a couple of days before that went to everyone in the system.

Hey Flyby thx for taking the time to post that. Some people have not been over to the "other" forum.

 

[donvag]

the apps were sorted. Competitive requirements are going to be 5000TT

 

[TexPilot]

I have two buddies who were called from this last round. Both have Sept. interviews.
Good luck.

 

[spudskier]

Any idea how many apps that leaves in the short stack? I'd imagine quite a few?

I saw, thank you for reposting. I take it 2000 exceptionally qualified includes degrees, 5000+TT and internal recs.

So far I'm still one of the 1700 not getting a call, but ya never know.

 

[Ref]

Does anyone know if the guys getting called now have a blue dart or just a regular internal rec?

You know you can say something at the chief's office re guys you don't think shouldn't be here. Do us all a favor if it's really blowing your mind.

Doesn't work most of the time.

If enough people come forward and say the same thing, it does work.

Yes, this might be true; but, they are ALSO APPLYING TO DL/AA/UA.
And they need to hire 1000-1500 pr. year for the next 3-4 years. They can be a senior FO or a junior CA in 10-15 at any of the 3 large ones, or a maybe at the middle of the FO list at best ar JB.

Yes, off course there are people who hold CA after 2-3 years, but the bottom CA seniority # at DL is in the 9000!!!!!!

Just make sure you educate yourself on your choice IF you get then...

The following reposted from a JB pilot forum.
Some DL info deleted.

Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2014 7:47 am Post subject: Delta Interview/ Hiring Update
Had my interview at Delta last week- went VERY well.

If you are interested in Delta, I would urge you to update your resume every few days and get all your Letters of Recommendation in order. Logbooks seem to be a big deal, so get those looking nice and neat too. The selection team seemed to be targeting JB pilots, and I saw multiple JetBlue pilots interviewing and met quite a few that were Phase 2 at JB as well.

Interesting to note.... I spoke with 2 JB Phase 2 applicants that are disgusted with JB. Very excited to interview initially, but completely turned off with how they've been treated since. No word from the company in over 4 months, no one returning emails or phone calls. One gentleman said over 50% of the pilots in his interview class that received a job offer had already taken other jobs (Airways, United, FedEx, Delta, corporate, etc) and decided not to tell JB. Equal treatment and all, is how he explained it to me.

 

[$$$4nothin]

The most recent bid has 172 open FO slots all over the system and 53 open Captain slots. There will be a lot of movement between seats, bases etc. 150-200 ish pilots is a broad idea of how many they need to hire over the next 6 months. Guys are guessing upgrade going around the 3-3.5 year mark. I am guessing closer to 3.5 but we will see in a few days. Good luck to all. Looks like JB will get close to cracking the 3000 pilot mark by very early 2015.

 

[1678]

Still 250-300 FO's with 7-8 year on property waiting to upgrade until
they hold a for sure line.

Every single one of them could have upgraded already on the A320 if they wanted to. They are in the right seat by choice.
I know you said "waiting for a line"
