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.

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:

Hiring Update...
 Application window was open for 10 days and there were close to 4000 applicants
 We are likely to select 300 pilots out of this window for interviews, including Bluedarts
 3700 met our minimums and over 2000 are exceptionally competitive
 Average experience is higher than in past application windows
 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
be competitive, referrals and a bachelor?s degree are almost a must
 Bluedarts must meet ?satisfactory experience? criteria listed in the FOM 10.5, and over
3000 applicants meet that threshold
 2013 ? We hired 269 pilots
 2014 - We have already hired close to 300 pilots so far this year, and are slated to hire
approximately 100 more (Aug-Dec). For a total of approximately 400
 2015 ? Initial hiring forecasts (which are subject to change) is 250-350 pilots
 Upcoming class dates are 8/27, 9/10, 9/24, 10/15, 10/29, 11/12, 12/3
 We have approximately 100 pilots in the ?pool? and all have passed phase 2. They
should all be in class by Dec (though hiring projections often change, so no guarantees)
 Upcoming interview dates are 9/16, 9/30, 10/16, 10/28, 11/6, 11/13
 Candidates interviewing this fall will be for classes in the first half of 2015
 Time from interview to phase 2 completion is approximately 2 months, and we now send
notifications to the candidates when they pass phase 2
 Time from interview to class is 3-6 months, but can be as fast as 30 days if necessary

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.

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.

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