JetBlue - Nov 2-3 Interview

[IronCityBlue]

pay rumor (in progress)

Those rates look pretty good.

Have the rates increased because of recent pilot attrition or just internal dissatisfaction? What prompted the new rates? If attrition is the reason, how many pilots have left in the last 6 months or so (maybe for reasons beyond E190 rates)?

The first year bus pay in his example is our current rate. The 190 CA rate was based on some rumors going around, nothing more. It may end up being that, it may end up a lot less, or more. No one knows yet. Stay tuned.

According to VK around 50 have left this year. About 20 of those left to go to SWA, a few to CAL, and the rest were recalls. Most of them were FO's and I would assume that pay and retirement were the big reasons why they left.

 

[Splert]

Oh yeah, well my sources say that's not the case. (now take a grain of salt, cut it in half, and take it with that)

Roger the skepticism...but I consider him an in-the-know guy. That is what he said.

I hope things change.

Gentlemen,


I was a Nov. 2nd interview. Haven't heard anything yet but wanted to say it was a pleasure meeting all of you.


Cheers

 

[145 Lawndart]

I was a Nov 2nd guy also and nothing yet.

Must stop checking emails....:nuts:

 

[Charlie Brown]

Well they said a week so we should start finding out tomorrow I guess. What percentage usually make it?

 

[Longhorn]

5% make it, the rest are toast!!!!


ahhh, just kidding.


Hey Charlie Brown! I hope all went well. Usually you will see around 70-80% get through. Sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less but that seems to be the answer. As for phase II, mid 90's percentage. I hope this helps. Give me a ring when you get the good news.

[Mr.AirlnPltGuy]

Emails on the way!

Interview emails being sent.

 

[Charlie Brown]

I'm IN!!! Got the "on to Phase II" email about 10 minutes ago, 1:20 CST. Good luck to the rest of you. Let the wait begin!

 

[Flyer74]

[Formula1]

I'm on to Phase 2 as well!! Hopefully it does not take too long.

 

[Longhorn]

Charlie Brown....I just sent you a PM. Never mind, this post answered my question. Congrats to you and everyone else. My other two friends that interviewed are in as well.

[Truckdriver]

Numbers are around 95 out of 145 that interviewed onto Phase II. About 65% this time around. Congrats to all those moving on and enjoy the stressful wait. Most of the Phase II people will make it into the pool and the wait is well worth it.

 

[145 Lawndart]

Add me to the list.

Anybody know how many make it past phase 2.

 

[JA-601]

I Freakin made it just got the phase 2 email !

Lets see thoughs new pay rates !

 

[Charlie Brown]

Anybody know how many make it past phase 2.

I have heard basically 95% or so. I was told by one of the guys interviewing unless you have some skeletons, or didn't disclose something, you will be cool.

 

[Bleedovertemp]

Made it also. Looking forward to seeing you guys again.

 

[leenick]

You may be correct and I hope you are. But my source says different; Nov. invites will only be offered the 190.

That's what I heard as well! If they intend on attracting and keeping pilots, then the pay will have to go UP, otherwise they will lose good people.

 

[145 Lawndart]

Just got a call from USIS saying that my background is complete. That seems pretty fast. maybe phase 2 is moving faster than in the past.

 

[leenick]

Great News Lawndart! Looks Like You May Be Getting The Offer Before Too Much Longer.

Good Luck, I Know Several Guys That Work For Jb, And They All Love It.

 

[SNOWBUM]

don't mean to upset you but thar bg check is always done super fast. the Pria records can take a lot longer and then they have to meet and decided on every individual. my bg check was done in 1 week, my PRIA records took less than 2 weeks, I waited for the call 12 weeks a a few days. so don't quit your job just yet.

 

[145 Lawndart]

Ouch, I was hoping that would not be the case but am still prepared for the wait.

Thanks for the dose of reality snowbum, till then:beer:

 

[Longhorn]

Snowbum...aint that the truth. I waited 9 weeks back in 2004/2005. My interview date put the hiring group decision right at christmas and they decided to wait until after the end of the year since its so hard to get the whole group together near the end of the year. I would guess that nobody would hear until after the 1st of the year. Could happen faster but I doubt it...sorry guys!!

 

[145 Lawndart]

Ok longhorn you really need to change your avitar. It was funny when you first put it up but now it is kinda creepin me out.

 

[Charlie Brown]

Anyone hear anything yet? I know it is probably early, but wondering if you guys have gotten anything in the mail or heard from anyone. I got a copy of my FAA records about two weeks ago and that has been it. I am guessing after X-mas until the calls go out.

 

[145 Lawndart]

Nothing yet for me.

 

[Longhorn]

About the avatar, is that better?

 

[145 Lawndart]

Much better!

 

[145 Lawndart]

I got the call from Verna, Looks like I will be in Orlando the end of Jan for the 190.

Seven weeks from interview to job offer.

Good luck to all still waiting for the call.

 

[Charlie Brown]

Got the call, Feb 14 in MCO. Good luck to the rest of you waiting.
