jetBlue May 16, 17 Interveiw Session

[milehye]

Got my "Go for phase II" email......Only time will tell if that's good...I'm waiting for bus

 

[MasterOfPuppets]

For those who aren't going to phase 2, I've been there, and I know it's not fun. Keep trying, and opportunities will happen. You are better off being through this experience than not interviewing.

I am excited and very happy to make it to phase 2. I look forward to meeting many of you at jetBlue U.

For those wondering about the experience, JetBlue treated us very well. Better in fact than any other airline that I've interviewed at or that I know of. This airline is about people. The success of this airline will truly be because of the people and the culture. They will ask you questions about past experience mostly about interactions with others. To prepare it is best to recall some of your challenging situations with others and the respective outcomes.

Congrats to those who got the good news, and sorry to you guys who got the bad news.

Would someone please enlighten me on the interview process, specifically what phase 1 and 2 is? Thanks!

52560,

Phase I is the interview in NY. You talk to a couple of pilots and a person from the "People Dept.".

If that goes well, you get an email within a week telling you that you have moved on to Phase II which is a background check and PHC review. If the BG check goes well, your final application package is presented to the PHC (Pilot Hiring Committee) who makes the final decision.

From the time you interview until you get a job offer can be 2 to 3 months.

I also had a pre-screening telephone interview, but I don't know if they do that anymore. Haven't heard much talk about it.

The process varies, but that is roughly how it works. No sim ride or medical exam. Must have a current class I medical, Passport, and an uptodate logbook.

Probably the easiest (is that a word?) interview out there right now, other than the Phase II wait.

The hard part is getting the interview in the first place.

So does anyone really know what the percentage of Phase II guys get hired?

 

[Grommet]

Truckdriver,

I remember reading a post a month or so ago that had the numbers 80 out of 86 made it through phase 2. I don't know how many they started with or what percentage of the phase 1 graduates that included, but the general consensus is that it is a high percentage that make it through. There are folks that got turned down and have no idea why (see Capt Dad on the Mar 8 interview thread). I'm keeping the faith. I hope to see you in class in December (or sooner)!

80 out of 86 sounds great.

 

[medfly]

Sorry about reply...had a few too many and boy am I fustraded...

 

[Acefaser]

As long as you didn't lie on your application your chances are great. Ohhh yah, your name will also be posted on the chief pilots office so the current pilots can see who is in Phase II and make sure they are capable of drinking the blue juce.
Phase II can take 10 weeks. It all depends on how fast your background check goes.

 

[IB6 UB9]

From Dean a while back, over 95% make it through phase II.

 

[MasterOfPuppets]

Master...I am trying to go to the Dublin Concert June 11th. My brother and I are there that week with family and trying to get the time away to go. Good luck with the process, and keep us posted

I haven't been to a concert in 12 years. Curious as to how they are now.

Me neither, for a reason.

 

[burg]

Count me in for Phase II. Time to twiddle my thumbs for the next 2 months......................

 

[flylears]

Flylears has been moved to Phase II. Sorry for the delay, my head is spinning because my current employer now knows

 

[CBpilot]

Anyone Know if the names in phase II have been posted on the pilot board yet?

 

[Truckdriver]

I`m not sure about names on the pilot board yet, but I did get the FAA letter showing that my records had been sent to JBLU. The USIS lady doing my background check also called to verify some stuff. 3 weeks down and hopefully only 3-5 to go!

 

[My Man SMITH!]

truckdriver, kinda sounds familiar. That's exactly what happened with me and it turned out to be a 12 week wait. I hope your wait isn't as long as mine was, but the call from Verna made it well worth the while. That wait drove me absolutely nuts! Ask my wife! Best of luck!
