[FlyboyPhil]

[Smoking Man]

With the changes to our First Officer minimum requirements, we will still base our selection process on competitive qualifications. As of today, candidates being offered an interview tend to have the following ranges of experience and often well above the published minimums:

* Greater than 2,000 hrs total time

* More than 1,000 hrs PIC

* Experience in aircraft utilizing "glass cockpit" technology, Flight Management System (FMS)

* Recency of flight experience considered

* 4 year college degree

AND they are counting Helicopter time now!!! Good news for us ex Army helo pilots!! Good on jetBlue!

Instead of increasing pay and benifits to stop attrition, lets lower mins and get ERU/UND CFI's who will jump at the chance for a job....Good for the 1900 drives though.

We also saw an opportunity to strengthen the pipeline of talent for our future hiring needs. JetBlue and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University and the University of North Dakota have teamed up to create an innovative partnership called the Aviation University Gateway.

There is more to the ERAU and UND program than what is posted above...I think its set up to go from the school, to a regional partner of the schools and JB's (cape air is only one as of now) then possible JB.

Feb 2nd I think...10-2 bus will pick you up at the A terminal lower level spots 26/27 every 30 min between 9 and 1. Business Causal or Uniform.

Or if you instruct at Riddle you can just drive over. Wear your instructor uniform and bring your resume!

Don't bother, they're overqualified! :laugh:

 

[lookin4better]

well even though the Riddle guys coming over in their uniform is a funny and also very sacrey thought....the letter says them and UND and will be given a career path and a chance at jetBlue through a regional partner....so they wont be going straight to B6.

so i dont think they will be lined up in MCO on the 2nd.....whew!

Would love to swing by on the second but I am getting married the next day, a little bit more important. When do you think the mins change will show up online so I can submit that way.

Thanks,

Avrat
