JetBlue Jan 11/12 interview news?

I pulled the mailbox out of the ground when I got home. I'm not taking any chances......

Excellent idea...[/quote]
That's some funny stuff. Good luck to you. Just don't hurt my commute out of ATL when you get the job. BTW, this place rocks.

Purgatory info........

Hi, All,


First of all, good luck to all who interviewed. In our briefing the following items were discussed, and here are the answers:

1) E-mails will go out within 1 week for ALL notifications, so you'd better get a bag of Quickrete and put that mailbox back up.:blush: The DHL courier will not be coming this month.

2) Phase 2 purgatory is now 10 to 12 weeks, so more patience will be necessary. There are approximately 90 candidates from November wating to finish the process (very soon).

3) Classes to be filled from these interviews are April through June, depending on how long the background checks take.

Once again, best wishes to all candidates!

Thanks USAV8R. That is great info! But now I need to have my wife open the emails from JetBlue because Ill be too scared to click on it. Any idea of how many of the 110 to 120 interviewees will be needed to fill the slots?
Thanks,
SRT

There is no predetermined number of pilots needed from any interview session. No quotas, no minimum number, no maximum number. Candidates are not competing against each other. If all pilots make the cut, then 100% are passed on to phase 2. If none of them do, then 0% would be passed through. When the individual interview teams turn in their results, the total is tallied. Sometimes an interview team passes all of them on, sometimes less, it just depends on the candidates themselves. The reality is that on any given interview session usually 60%-80% make it to phase 2, at least these are the numbers I have heard over time. It just works out that way, time after time. I don't know what the latest session's tally was, but I would guess it is in this range.

Pass rate for 11-12 Jan was somewhere between 70-73%. Notification will go out sometime next week. I'm guessing between Wed and Fri.

Roughly 152 out of 212, pretty good odds..

Can anyone verify if it is six months to re-apply? I was not sure if I heard that correctly.

Given your position maybe you shouldn't post this stuff.

Its healthy for pilots to know they aren't completing against each other in the interview sessions. This type of information is available to anyone who goes to an Air Inc. conference, and interested candidates shouldn't have to shell out money to Kit Darby to hear it.

During the Q&A session DM said that you could reapply after 6 months. He also said that quite a few get hired the second time around including some folks that now hold key positions in the company.

This has probably been answered somewhere, but why on earth does it take so long for them to get through the background check/phase ii? Is it any different or more thorough than what other airlines do? Is it more than a background check? I have heard there is a final review (yay or nay) to be done at the end of it before one gets the call...?

Just curious... good luck to all who interviewed. I have a lot of friends that are waiting in limbo over there!

Ugh...I was hungry, you just ruined my appetite.

Background Checks

Patriot, the length of time for background checks is usually determined by your previous employers' delay in responding to the request for employment records.

Those straight out of the military and from few previous jobs will get through phase II quicker.

Do yourself a favor and contact the HR department of your previous employers and ask that they get your verification information out as quickly as possible. I'm not sure it will help a lot, but at least you will feel like you might have quickened the process a bit.

Sitting and waiting is torture for sure. I like the suggestion of tackling the 'honey-do' list.

Good luck everyone, it's a great place to work.

I wasn't aware Kit had Jetblue's hiring %. Or that people would pay to hear what it is.

Hey EGLPILOT,
Are your nerves a little frayed from waiting for word on the interview? Its OK, I understand. Just take a deep breath and let it out slowly. I think you should probably seek out an anger management program because if the posts on this thread get you so upset, there may be something locked deep inside you that is trying to break free. Good Luck.

Looks like someone forgot to logout at the hotel.

That would be my guess.
