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

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.

 

[Joblu]

are folks getting hired w/o one?

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?

 

[NEDude]

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.

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??

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.

 

[DLconnection]

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.

 

[greenbayfan]

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

 

[BuckMurdock1]

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!

 

[CL65'er]

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

 

[Caveman]

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!!

 

[FlyboyPhil]

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
