jetBlue May 2nd interview

[Lebowski]

Does ground school go Mon-Fri or is there some other schedule?

Is it easy to get by in training without a car? I.e., is there a supermarket nearby?

Do flight benefits start right away? (meaning things like interline passes for the whole family, not jumpseat privileges.)

Do parents get travel privileges?

 

[Longhorn]

Ground school is NOT Monday through Friday. It is scattered throughout and you are in class on the weekends for a few of the weeks.

Yes, you can get buy without a car. There is a publix way down the road (and someone usually has a car there). There is also plenty of room for exercise, doing your laundry, dinning out and lots a few bars. Since I lived in Florida when I was in upgrade, I was there with my car. The guys that were new hires just used mine while I was there. I just asked for them to be easy on it and put gas in it for me.

Flight Benifits I think start right away. You, your spouse, kids and parents all are eligable for free flights anywhere on JB, and pass agreements with almost all of the other airlines.

 

[Lebowski]

Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for.

 

[pikepilot]

If you can't find someone with a car the JB shuttle does a supermarket run a few times a week...you definitely do not need a car. Everything important, except for the supermarket, is within walking distance. The hotel is very nice and accommadating. You get flight bennies within a few days, just make sure to bring your docs...marriage license, birth certificates, etc. They will also positive space a significant other down to MCO for your orientation.

 

[Lebowski]

Thanks to both PikePilot and Longhorn. I appreciate the info.

[feitinger]

How it happened.

Let me divuldge a little more on the notification process, since many of you have asked.

I recieved a call from Verna herself at about 1400 today, that's 5 weeks from when I interviewed. Her words were "I have good news, your background has cleared. We would like to offer you the job! We have classes on Aug. 15th or Aug twenty something (All I heard was the 15th:0 ). Congratulations and welcome!"

Sooo, maybe the order you are called has to do with when your background clears?

Oh and thats right, two classes in AUG. Mixed a/c type.

 

[aewanabe]
