JetBlue Jan 11/12 interview news?

[starvingredtail]

OK, I think we have all had a nice few days of glowing in the thought that we are in the running for this job. I suggest we all go back to stressing!! Has anybody got a call from USIS about their stuff?

 

[Enterprise]

They called me on Friday because of a gap when I was a minor. She said that they had almost everything done except for the DOT and FAA records and my PRIA. I was pretty surprised they were this far along this early but I suppose it will still take many more weeks.

 

[starvingredtail]

Heres another question:
Has anyone gotten the good news from Miss VK without hearing from USIS in any way? I am dying to just fax in my DD214 to USIS without hearing from them but I do not want to seem pushy. What do you think?

 

[starvingredtail]

Thats Great Enterprise!
I wish I would get a warm fuzzy along those lines.

 

[starvingredtail]

I just got off the phone with my only other employer and they just got the package. They say it takes 3 days to turn. That is a warm fuzzy.

Just to give you folks a heads up. All my employers were called to verify the employment dates (last 10 years) within the first week of entering phase 2. A week after that I received my copy of the FAA records. Then 8 weeks later I am still in phase 2. Just hang in there it will most likely take at least 8 weeks or so.

You hit the nail on the head my friend. I got called on Friday to inform me they needed another number to my employer and that once I provided that they were done. Now I'm prepared for the 10 week (or more) long haul.

 

[starvingredtail]

So who are the folks getting called at the 4 week point? Does that happen?

 

[J3 Driver]

So who are the folks getting called at the 4 week point? Does that happen?

That did happen from the November interviews but only because they needed to fill the November 30th class. Those people received a conditional employment offer and a class date (about 15 people). From what I understand it was just the luck of the draw. That is not to say that the samething could not happen again (I hope it does). I am guessing that will depend on how many of us are sitting in phase 2 from the November interviews versus how many seats they have available for the next few classes.

YEAH... what he said!!! Expect it to take the full 8 weeks!

 

[starvingredtail]

8 weeks it is!

121 vs Turbine PIC TIMES ???

3 questions to those of you that interviewed with jetBlue;

What were the Turbine PIC Times and the 121 PIC times of those that made it to Phase 2 and those that did not ???

Did it make a difference if you didn't have the 121 PIC experience ???

And did the acceptance rate have any parrallel to the amount of Turbine PIC time an applicant had ???

 

[Caveman]

TT 5400
Turbine 3000
TPIC 1700
121 3000

I made it to phase II but as to the rest of your questions I have no idea. The hiring criteria at any airline is smoke and mirrors as far as I can tell. Each company has a profile that fits their needs. What that is is anybody's guess. Common sense suggests that if you are invited to interview your times are good enough and the rest is up to you. Good luck.

 

[ATR-DRIVR]

TT 9200
Turbine 5400
TPIC 2250
121 4200

Caveman pretty much said it all. I moved on to Phase 2 also. JetBlue likes a mix of pilot backgrounds from what I have gathered.

 

[Capt. X]

TT-12800
Turbine -9300
TPIC -3000
121 -7800

Off to Phase II. I believe some guys from the interview had only 135 experience. Not sure how many though..Good Luck

 

[JetBlue or Bust]

To re-phase my question,

Did anyone get to Phase 2 that had less than 1000 hours "Turbine PIC" time ???

 

[Fins Up]

Disregard

 

[WNFO]

To re-phase my question,

Did anyone get to Phase 2 that had less than 1000 hours "Turbine PIC" time ???

Yes, I only had 750 Turbine PIC Start class Feb 1st. Good Luck.

 

[Fins Up]

One week down - seven to ten to go.

 

[Hooky2]

Wanted to jump in the pool.
Jan 11 Interview, Phase II email 1200(ish) on Thurs 19 Jan. At 1300 Jan 19th, called by USIS requesting DD-214 for active duty that ended in 1997. She said that was my only remaining element for the background check. Got the FAA PRIA in the mail yesterday (dated 24 Jan). Does this seem fast? Anyone got info to compare it with?
Best wishes for best results.

 

[Fins Up]

I got my FAA PRIA yesterday as well. No other background issues yet. No references called so far.

 

[Hooky2]

Fins:
No calls to my peeps either. Those guys from Nov. have had a long wait through the holidays, let's hope the good news flows quickly.
Any guesses on the PHC's schedule? Do they have to convene personally or can they do it electronically?

 

[starvingredtail]

My current company mailed my package to UsIS today. No calls to my rec letter providers. My wife told me the FAA letter arrived. Does anyone know the target date for the 8 week mark? Is it March 11/12 (8 weeks from interview) or March 18/19 (8 weeks from the phase II email)?

[J3 Driver]

Just a little info! I interviewed on Nov 2 and got the call today (March 1st A320). It is a long wait but hang in there. There are still a few people from Nov yet to be called then it is your turn. Good Luck!

 

[starvingredtail]

Congrats again J3!

 

[Vastly Underemp]

And congrats J3 for hanging in there, it must have been agony, but it's all worth it now

 

[starvingredtail]

Congrats VU,
You are going to like the experience.

 

[RideandDrive]

For me it was 12 weeks from the notification for Phase II to hear the news.
