I will see you there DL, I live in South Florida so I will have a car which will make life easier during training.

It appears (from looking @ some of your profiles) that they are sort of going from high-to-low in experience level in terms of the first offers/earlier class dates (which I guess makes some sense).

Is this their historic 'MO' .. just curious.

 

[BuckMurdock1]

UPDATE- just got an email notification that I'm in Phase 2. Now comes the painful wait..

Best of luck to all..

 

[1900heavy]

Well, I am in for Phase 2 as well.

Wish me a luck and to all.

 

[Fins Up]

Congratulations on making it to phase II. I think most in Phase II get the nod and an offer. I'm not sure how long it's taking these days. I think I waited about 8 weeks about a year and a half ago. Hopefully they have sped up the process some.

 

[CaptainSpaz]

In my experience I have learned that Phase II can be as short as "How soon can you be here? (conditional offer)" to even longer than the advertized max of 12 weeks. Don't try to figure out how the process works from the inside or you will go slightly mad. It's worth the wait, though!

Just found out I moved into Phase II and am very excited as well.

are folks getting hired w/o one?

I was hired w/o a four year degree. A GED and a 2 year degree in General Studies was good enough as of about 2 years ago. I'm sure glad I finished the 10th grade though, otherwise only having a 9th grade edumacation might have been a show stopper.

BTW, for any of you youngsters out there reading this: GET A FOUR YEAR DEGREE. In anything. I got lucky, you may not. The difference between just getting by paycheck to paycheck and making a good living is a four year degree regardless of your occupation. There are exceptions to the rule, but not many. Go to school.

Rich Dad Poor Dad....recommend reading it. You don't need a 4 year degree to make it big. Would it help to make you smarter, have good grammar and sense of achievement? absolutely...more money? not necessarily!!

I just got the phase 2 email Thursday, I am working on an online degree.

For those of you who are at JetBlue I have a few questions I should have asked earlier..

1. What is training pay? Do you get per diem in training?
2. When does the insurance start?
3. When can my family non-rev?


Thanks in advance

 

[greenbayfan]

Per the info sent from training...

1.) $2500/mo. is prorated training pay/no per diem.
2.) Insurance is available the first day of the month following your first 30 days.
3.) I don't know about the non-rev thing, but I believe it depends on the airline, every airline is different.

 

[FlyboyPhil]

Thanks GreenBay... know it can be 3-6 months to nonrev on other airlines.. was wondering about nonrev on jetblue.. my current airline has a 2 week wait.. just wondering if it was similar at jetblue.

Non-rev starts as soon as Travel receives and processes your eligibility form. Be sure to bring marriage license, childrens' birth certs, and your own birth cert if you want non-rev for your parents (the last one surprised me a bit).

I didn't say you couldn't do well w/o a degree. I said it makes it more difficult. All the census data indicates that the income difference betwen those with a degree and those without is substantial. Anecdotal evidence aside you are much more likely to earn a comfortable living wage if you are college educated. Whether or not you actually learn anything useful in college is for another debate. I just didn't want some kid thinking that because one dumbass Marine got lucky they should skip going to college.

Congrats to the new B6'ers. Welcome aboard. Feel free to PM if you have any more questions.

Copies of all these documents will work, you won't need to have originals with you in MCO.
