jetBlue Mins

[CaptainSpaz]

I can only speak for my recent class, however we had some highly experienced folks. Some guys with way more turbine PIC than I have total time!

I fly a E175 and was hired without turbine PIC at a regional... Why couldnt I get hired to fly a E190 at JetBlue? Same airplane.

Well it seems that since day 1 the minimums at B6 have not changed with exception of the weight requirement as I can recall, I could be wrong.

Those minimums had to be met by folks with considerable amount of time in all areas because they were going to fill Captain slots.

I remember the weight requirement at one point to be 40,000lbs and changed to 20,000lbs. As for everything else it has not chaged much at all.

The one that kinda has me confused is having or not having a degree.

 

[B190Captain]

As he should be. It is hard to believe and airline flying large jets would hire someone with turbine PIC. Didn't realize we were hurting that bad.

On the other hand there are lots of us who have plenty of turbine/large/multi/PIC, but no jet time.

I lost you at your first statement. Did you mean without turbine PIC? or sarcasm?

are folks getting hired w/o one?

Yeah I did mean without.

As for the college degree, there were folks in my class with BSs, AAs, and no degree at all. I don't think it's a show stopper. I couldn't tell you what the current hiring trend is regarding degrees but my guess is they are not required.

Yes they are getting hired. Nothing wrong with that IMHO.

Have you guys heard anything from Nov. 5th, 6th interview, yet?

 

[greenbayfan]

I was in the 5th interview and they have conditionally offered me the Nov 28th class. Anyone else in that class?

The same reason USAirways guys with thousands of SIC hours in 737s can't get hired at Southwest. It is just what that particular company wants in its employees.

Nov 6

So I interviewed on the 6th and loved the company and the people. Unfortunately I got the no thank you email. Reapply in 6 months.

I am hoping the reason is that I only have 300 hrs 121 cpt time and maybe in 6 months and more PIC121 they will give me another look.

Anyone get an offer from the Nov 5, 6th interview with little or no 121 PIC? Just curious.

 

[35off]

So what was your total and PIC and PIC121??

 

[35off]

I was in the 5th interview and they have conditionally offered me the Nov 28th class. Anyone else in that class?

So what was your total, PIC, and PIC121? Thanks for the info

 

[greenbayfan]

Alot and Alot, I don't even know off the top of my head...sorry.

I interviewed on Nov 6 and was offered a conditional offer of employment for the Nov 28 class. Verna called me late on Friday night (which really suprised me) with the offer. I can't wait to start.
