Competitive Qualifications
Our computers surface the most competitive applicants in the database. These files are then reviewed by a team of line Pilots. Due to the high volume of applications we receive, competitive qualifications can be significantly higher than the minimum requirements. On average, we are currently seeing the following background in candidates selected to interview:
• Between 3,000 and 10,000 hours total time in airplanes
• Greater than 2,000 hours turbine PIC in jets
• Greater than 2,000 hours in airplanes at or above 20,000 pounds (maximum takeoff weight)
• Experience with more sophisticated aircraft utilizing Electronic Flight Instrument Systems (EFIS), Flight Management Systems (FMS)
• Bachelor’s Degree
V. Salary/Benefits:
The current pay system for First Officers is as follows:
• $50.96/hour with a minimum guarantee of 70 hours/month (75 on reserve)
• $76.44/hour for all hours flown in excess of 70 hours in a month
• Estimated annual pay based on 81 hours (projected average) per month would be $52,896.48 (plus per diem of $2.00/hour)
• Training pay is based on $2500/month (lodging is provided at Company cost during initial training)
• JetBlue Pilots and their designated dependents receive a comprehensive benefit and insurance package including major medical, dental, vision, life insurance and much more
• Space-available pass benefits for JetBlue Crewmembers and their families on our flights are unlimited
If the E190 payscale remains the same, it wouldn't be surprising to see the mins drop.
