JetBlue June interview results

[Splinter]

Has anyone heard either way yet? At least with Christmas the official shopping season starts only a month out, so the anticipation is bearable.

I heard that I could be in a class before Jan of next year. Now that was from a source and nothing from JB. So until I get a letter then I'm not getting my hopes up, but then it's better than nothing.

I think that June interviewees have a great chance of being in class by Jan if they elect to take the 190. If you want a 320 slot, it will probably be longer.

Where did you get the info?
That's going to be a very important timeframe for me.
-To deploy, or not to deploy?
Seniority is evrything, I just hope I could have an idea as soon as possible.

Cheers,

There are E190 classes every two weeks of size ranging from 8-12 each. There are only 10 March guys left in the pool waiting for the 320 and a bunch more May guys also waiting now. Lots of May guys filled up the Sep E190 classes. They will need about 60 more guys to fill up the rest of the 190 classes until the end of the year and they will probably take at least 40-50 guys out of the pool to the 320 in Nov and Dec. So to fill the rest of the classes for this year they will need about 100-110 guys. That will drain the pool down to just a few guys if not empty it using the March and May guys. That leaves you lucky dogs from June to start filling the Jan classes. If they up class sizes which could happen, you may actually see opportunities to get into the 190 classes before Jan. When I got put into the pool they told me to expect a 190 class in Oct or a 320 class in Dec or Jan. They called me a week later and offered me a Sep 13 190 class or what looked like a Nov 320 class. Things will change a dozen times before Dec comes, and hopefully they will change for the better. Best of luck.

Phone call!

I interviewed morning of June 14th. Just got a phone call from Doug at JetBlue saying Phase II complete and "welcome to the pool". He said to look forward to a call from Bernice in the next month or so to determine a class date. His thoughts were Oct to Nov for -190, or Dec. to Jan for A320, but just his guesses.
Good luck to everyone! - Bobo

Get on property, get an ID and a number, then deploy.

Got the call today around 3:00PM EST. Doug called and asked if I was still interested in JB. I'll be in the pool, same information as above, although I was told E-190 around NOV-DEC, and A320 JAN-FEB timeframe. He also mentioned a "Lifeguard", which is assigning a JB pilot as a mentor while we are swiming in the pool.
Good Luck to all of you who interviewed June 14th.

Cheers,

Splinter,
I know that the longer we wait the better the victory. I'm hoping to hear something by the end of this week, if not next week. I mean come on how long could it really take. I talked to my friend who is well connected there and he says things will happen soon. And when they do it will be fast. He didn't really say what, or when but that it will.

 

[Splinter]

For the lucky ones that interviewed in June, how soon can they hold A320 in BOS???

Any tips on surviving the waiting game? I'm tired of playing canasta by myself in the hotel rooms.

Trying to keep this thread alive so I don't have to search page 9 to find it.

No news is good news, bad news travels fast!

Just curious how long the wait for Phase 2 would be if there was an urgency to get pilots in class. My FFDO background check took less than a month. What's up with 8-12 weeks? Friends at JB with USAF NSC's to carry nukes took 10 weeks.

If JB had a need to fast-track pilots into training, can they light a fire under the company and get that done?

I am NOT bitchin AT ALL...just making an observation. After all...what is the rush, those with good news will not be turning in their 2 weeks notice for a few more months. What's a few more months in purgatory when heaven awaits?

Splinter, hang in there man. Your call will come soon enough and then you will be hanging down here in MCO working for an AWESOME company! It truly is a great place to be. I've learned this company likes to under-promise and over-deliver. I hope you have the same experience that I've had. In the meantime, keep your head up!

 

[taxman]

Splinter, Don't worry. You're not the only one thats been waiting 10 1/2 weeks and counting......

 

[See AK]

Just received the call from Verna Kay and gladly accepted her offer to dive into the Blue Pool…my years of surfing will finally pay off!

 

[Don Q]

See AK,

CONGRATS!

Did she say when the classes would be starting?
