JetBlue Jan 11/12 interview news?

[starvingredtail]

It all depends on how strong you feel your PRIA checks will turn out. You have a copy from just over a month ago so you "know" it's good. If nothing has changed since then you should feel confident that JetBlue is going to give you the final thumbs up. If that's a true statement then I would take the class you are scheduled for. If there is any question as to whether or not your checks will come back negative then I would wait. Seniority is important, but family comes first in my opinion.
Sounds to me like you should be good to go for the 15th, but don't take a gamble if there is any question.Good luck, and I hope to see you the evening of the 14th in Orlando!
Hey Srjorion,
Yeah, I know the FAA record is good, but when you get in your mid 40's you have seen and heard so many crazy things happen in this business, that you get really conservative when it comes to your family. My wife is in her early 20's and has a great job modeling in the Victoria's Secret catalogue, but you never know how long that is going to last!!! Anyhow, I am probably going to go to the 15 mar class anyway, but I sort of need to make my decision by Monday because NWA is helping me by backdooring my 2 weeks notice. Thanks for the input, and I will look for you on the 14th. I will be the guy with the 20something supermodel.

Just curious, did everyone receive their letter from the FAA in the mail stating JB checked their records? What about the credit check from experian? I still have not received those yet; all I have is the PRIA / Drug form from my previous company.

I got my letter from the FAA about a week after Phase II started. I haven't received any other info regarding background checks and I'm pretty sure NONE of my references have been contacted.

Answering machine: “HI. THIS IS VERNA. I CAN'T TAKE YOUR CALL RIGHT NOW. PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE AND I'LL CALL YOU BACK.” BEEP.
- Hi Verna. This is Fins Up. Sorry to bother you but I was wondering if any calls were going out today. I’m hoping for some good news soon. Thanks.

“HI. THIS IS VERNA. I CAN'T…” BEEP.
- Hi Verna. Fins again. The caller ID showed a new call but there was no message on the machine. Thought maybe it was you. Give me a call when you can. Thanks.

BEEP.
- Hi it’s Fins again. I ran all the way from the shower when I heard the phone ring but I guess you just hung up. Talk to you soon.

BEEP.
- Uh, sorry. I dialed the wrong number. I meant to dial the orphanage I volunteer at. Anyway, how are those calls going?

BEEP.
- Fins again. I’m heading out for a while. I was hoping to catch you since I may not be in if you call later. Well, talk to you later.


No I'm not freakin' out. Just bored. Too bad football season is over.

I got my FAA letter a few weeks ago. USIS says the Feds successfully sent out the "copy to applicant" letters but a 'glitch' prevented them from getting the official copies. Apparently not the first time, and they're (FAA & USIS) working to remedy the problem.
Hope it helps the wait. Good luck

Hey Murano,
I got my FAA verification from the FAA dated Jan 24 2006. No recs called. I checked Experian myself by going to their web site. It was checked (i think) Jan 17th. You might want to check the "November" interview thread because I remember a guy on there with the name "J3 driver" or something (I will look it up and edit this post) who ran into this situation and he indicated there was might have been a glitch at usis. He did get the job offer. Maybe you can PM him for some tips. Hang in there!!!

Hey Manny!!
I am 99.999999% sure I will take the class and not put it off based on seniority. Did I mention my wife is a supermodel?

I was told that they were waiting for the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) from the FAA. I think this is seperate from PRIA and they don't have to send you any copies of what they send to jetBlue from the FOIA. I think the PRIA won't show open investigations or Warning Letters but FOIA will show open investigations or Warning Letters within 2 years. The PRIA is the white letter we all received showing that jetBlue checked our records. I think that is how it works, but as usual the FAA site is a little unclear on it all. That is what I could get out of it. The FOIA was supposed to make it's way to jetBlue on last Wed. so lets hope the email to make it a firm offer comes out this week.

 

[ATR-DRIVR]

Hopefully VK and co got a bunch of stuff from the feds in the mail over the weekend, and will be sending us some calls!!!!

 

[S3sundowner]

Just wondering, did some of you contact the recruiting dept. directly to find out what they still needed or did they contact you for the necessary info. For the military guys, is the DD-214 required for completing the phase 2 check?

Sundowner

 

[srjorion]

They never asked me for my DD-214. I'm not sure if they want a copy when you get to training or not.

 

[Fins Up]

When I was called for the interview I asked specifically if they needed a DD214 and they said they did not. I'm awaiting the final call and am still on active duty (for 25 more days anyway). Other companies may do it differently.

 

[Caveman]

Within a week of being notified that I made it to phase II USIS called and asked me to fax them my DD-214.

 

[Dogwood]

Hey Guys,
I just got the call from lovely Miss Verna! I got the call about 6:15 eastern. It was a conditional for 15 March in the 190. She said the training records are all that is left and they should be done by Wednesday. I actually had just sat down to dinner and my 6 and 3 year olds are really into the "JetBlue thing" since I brought them home some trinkets from the interview. We had just finished our prayer where we included asking for a call from Verna, when the phone rang! Talk about connections! Anyhow, thats all I have for now. Good Luck to all.

Great Story ... Welcome to the family

Hey Sundowner,
I never contacted or was contacted by JetBlue until I got the call from Verna. On the DD 214, some guys were contacted for it and others were not. I know how you feel. I actually had a draft cover letter for my DD214s which I was going to fax to usis "unanounced". I assume they got my 214's through the DOD channels.

Are we closing EWR? Flight schedule starting June 1 are only 10 flights from 16-17 when we started. Continental is crushing us there...time to get out and focus on LGA and JFK. Maybe a market for the 190

No dude,
Go check the other "the sky is falling" thread you started. Bluejuice has straightened out your error. False information. Do you really work at B6? I am giving you the benefit of the doubt. If you really work at JB, could you PM guys like bluejuice etc (the experienced JB posters) before you put up a headline like that? If you are a flamer, continue your shallow existence.

P.S. I finally (sort of)figured out to put things in quotes. I'm cool.

 

[Fins Up]

Alright now. It's been a week since any calls went out as far as I can tell. Tomorrow makes week seven. Let's have some news/rumors/gossip/whatever you got.
