jetBlue March 8th/9th Interview Session

[hyepilot]

How many people ar ein the pool? And did you guys get a call or an email? I interviewed on June 14th, and I haven't heard anything yet. I know that my background check is done. I guess that it is just a matter of waiting now. And as lazy as I am, I even hate to wait.

 

[pilotgolfer]

I talked to Verna today for about 20 minutes. There are 50 or so people in the pool from the March interview group. They are putting 30 people thru the E190 in August and there are 2 A320 classes planned between now and year end (14 in each). I know there are rumors floating around about more A320 classes, but for now Verna says it looks like 2 classes.

There are 37 people from the May interviews that will be called shortly to enter the pool and they will join the 12 from May that have already been put in the pool.

They have not even begun looking at the June interviews yet.

So to answer your question, there are about 99 people who are in the pool or will be in the pool in the next week or so. These 99 people came from the March and May interview groups.

 

[hyepilot]

Thanks for the info! That helps much! Darn and I was hoping to get out of here, before the fit hits the shan!

 

[SNOWBUM]

Pilotgolfer, the 12 from may they have already called + 37 that will be called soon is 49. there were about 100 guys waiting to pass phaseII from May.

Any idea if they have already decided on them all and the fedex letters have been send out or if there are still about 50 other's from may the PHB has not review yet?any fedex letter sent out yet from may phaseII?when?

thanks,

( blood pressure goes up everytime I hear a truck driving by my street)

 

[hyepilot]

So Dude, (pilotgolfer)
Riddle me this.....
If one made it through to Phase II, what are the chances that they will get the try again letter. I understood that it is your background check and then the PHB meets and takes the scores from your interview and background and other magical stuff and then makes a yes or no answer. Is that right? I mean what in the world could kick out you now? If you lied on your background? YES! Killed someone and didn't tell them. YES! I mean what else could kick you out of the running? I'm not worried about my background, if the gov. trusts me then JB shouldn't have a problem with me. I did have some help in the interview. Met the right people, and did the right things. I'm even headed out to NYC next week to see if I can see more people.
The Qclub is calling me....

 

[pilotgolfer]

Snowbum and Hyepilot,

I'm sorry but I don't know the answers to those questions. I'm just relaying info that I was able to track down. I believe the info is accurate...but then again, this is Flightinfo.

[Vastly Underemp]

Smoky, congrats....it's been a long time coming

I, too, got the call from Bernice...Airbus, August 30th.... WOO HOO!!!!!!!

Who else?

 

[FlyingSkirt]

Me Too!!!! Airbus... August 30th

I was so excited when Bernice called i forgot to ask.... anyone know how many people per class?

 

[My Man SMITH!]

congrats on the airbus classes guys! I was considering waiting as well, but when the email came offering the 190 classes for Aug I found it hard to pass up. 190 class on Aug 2. Just can't wait to start!

 

[Runninman]

Runninman will be in the A320 Aug 30th class. see you there.

 

[Vastly Underemp]

Runninman, congrats and welcome to the civvies. Hopefully they won't make you wear a uniform like Arnold (if the moniker comes from that movie)....

Flying S....14 per class

 

[pilotgolfer]

I'll be there Sept 13th also.

Scott

 

[FlyingSkirt]

Thanks VU... I wonder who the other 11 people are...

see you all in MCO :beer:

 

[Truckdriver]

So I wonder if these two 320 classes will be it for the year?? It would sure be nice to see at least one 320 class per month for the rest of the year.

 

[PDXcheezhead]

Count me in...

Thanks VU... I wonder who the other 11 people are...

see you all in MCO :beer:

I'm one of them(A320/30th)!!! Yippee!!
You'll recognize me as the one who stresses WAY out about training d=)
I am looking forward to meeting you all there!!

Just gave notice with my current sinking ship - I am soo looking forward to the month of Aug off.

One heads up to those who may not know - One change to previous classes... As far as getting to training... still free/pos space from jB cities but are "own nav" (and own $) from other cities.

any more news out there?? d=)

 

[projectguy]

Yippe cai yeah mutha.......

Me two (or is three, four, five?),

A320 on the 30th - see you there.

I forgot to ask Bernice when she called, but I'm guessing there maybe some guys from the May interview group in the Sept 13th class. (based on where I was in the pool of March interviewees).

Are you in for the 320 or 190?? It's likely that some May guys will be in the Sep 190 classes and possibly Aug 190 classes, but I didn't ever think that any of us would be in a 320 class prior to Oct. I was told I was around #60 in the pool so I guess if the numbers worked out right and lots of guys in front of me took the 190 August dates for seniority, then I would be close to the top around Sep 13th. That would be awesome to get a Sept 320 class, but I'm not getting my hopes up just yet!! Congrats and good luck in Sept. Hopefully I'll be in MCO in Sept with ya'll!

 

[PDXcheezhead]

From what I heard (and that is worth exactly what you paid for it), there are only March folks in the first two 320 classes (8/30 and 9/13) but there a few May poolies in Aug 190 classes.

 

[JA'd]

I'm in, March 8th interview, A320 Aug 30, PC ride current company month of August (I don't think so ). Look forward to meeting you all.

Cool. Now I wish we would find out what the status is on 320 classes beyond 9/13. I'm sure there will be more because I was told to expect a 320 class around Nov or Dec. I hope they pick up 320 classes so ya'll won't be on reserve very long and so that I can get the A/C that overnights where I'll be commuting from without giving up too many seniority #'s.

 

[Propblast]

I'm in too! Sep 13. I was given the option between the two but missed the call and by the time I got back to her the Aug 30 class was filled. Still very happy to be on my way!

Hey Guy's:

I've been lurking in the shadows following the thread. It is great to see the positive news starting to flow from Forrest Hills. Congrats to all. PDX the list looks good. I can tell you that Flyiguy has accepted another gig out west so that is one more box you can check off on your list.
Propblast, good to see you got what you were holding for, give me a call and I'll give you the the low down on the best wings, and barley pop's in MCO.
For those of you who end up with a man named Pablo as an instructor you are in for alot of great info and also a bunch of laugh's. If he happens to stump you on a question though you just look him straight in the eye and tell him. " Go around flaps said that I don't have to worry about that S--T anymore". You will need to deliever it in your best Ricky Ricardo accent.
As for the Go around flaps nickname that I earned in the sims, what can I say, We long time Cat I guy's just don't like the idea of Cat III autoland. It took some getting use to but not before they threatened to shoot me down if I did not let the airplane land.

Once again congrat's to all and look forward to seeing you on the line.

Go around flaps (aka LaGarbage Man)

Giddyup!!!!

 

[LaGarbage Man]

ATR (aka the Owl)
LOL
How in the hell did I forget "Giddyup" ??? Once you have heard it spoken, it will be burned into your memory forever.

June 14th interview and waiting, waiting, waiting and yup you guessed it waiting. Phase one complete and i think phase two as well. the background check is done, just waiting. I guess with so many in the pool there is no hurry. But I guess that all I can do is wait.

 

[WNFO]

Do you know if Capt. Dad got the letter right away or did they take the full 12 weeks to deliver it?
