[Dogwood]

I'm out. Didn't make it. Good luck to everyone else..

Pilottodd2,

Sorry to hear that. This continues to be a hard industry to figure out, and the hiring process is no different.

I'm sure everyone still waiting appreciates your professional post, as I know this was very disappointing for you.

Good luck to you. As my wife has reminded me on several occasions, things happen for a reason.

Just received the email with a Thank You for your intrest. Good luck to all.

 

[HalinTexas]

nope. Not me either.

Probably best for all involved.

I'm in guys. I interviewed on the 16th and got the Phase II e-mail today! Hopefully I'll make it into the pool in the next 8-12 weeks. That was the best e-mail I've got since e-mail has been around!!! Now I've just got to find something to do to maintain my sanity until I get a call from Verna. I'm also thinking of finding a way to keep any FedEx trucks out of my neighborhood.

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!

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

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.

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.
