Has anyone thought about calling either JBlue or USIF??? I know we keep hearing, on this board, that the calls will be coming, but how would we feel after 80 days if we were not in touch through this medium?? Just a thought.

Hey bro -
I'm in the same boat as you. I would strongly recommend you
DO NOT call either JetBlue or USIS. Hang tough...they told us they do not want us calling them first, and I hear they are really serious about it. I know this has been painful - I haven't heard a peep either - but just let them get to us in their own due course.

I have a feeling I'm going to be the last person they notify! LOL

KTF!

Alright Dude, I am with you....I will hold out as painful as it is. I just wanted to hear that others are in the same boat as me.
 
kjkil,

I was in the same boat from the Sept. interviews. It seemed like everyone and there brother had been called for a class. I called all of my previous employers, references, etc. Some of them had been contacted, some hadn't. That bothered me so I contacted VK to see if there was anything I could help with. 2 days after I received the "please be patient" reply email from VK I got the "no thanks" email from Dean. That was 8 weeks after I made it pass Phase I. I know my background was clean and I had 6 LOR's from JB employees. That being said, I would allow this process to play without contacting them. I will never know if that was my disqualifier or not, but I can speculate. Good Luck to you and everyone else in purgatory.

This might make things worse but ONE phone call to the HR would not automatically give you the "no thanks" letter.
I'm afraid you will have to look for another reason.

This boats gettin full, I'm in it as well....Where are the life vests???

Hey, there he is. Was wondering when you'd show up.

No life vests required, this is a slow cruise so just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!

KTF!
 
If I'm gonna sit back and relax, I think I'm gonna need a few drinks!!! Which deck is the bar on??? :beer:

Ha ha...speaking of, if we get a break over a weekend, we should drive up to Daytona Beach and go to the Ocean Deck. Great bar, cool atmosphere, live bands, great food. At least it was back in '96....
 
Sounds good, but even better idea...I recently moved back to the great midwest from Key Largo, and I still have my sailboat down there....Nothing like sailing over to a watering hole with a little Jimmy Buffett playin...

Now if they would just call, we could get on with it. :D

Alright, I think that is an awesome idea! Speaking of Jimmy, I saw him in Orlando in '95 or '96...what a blast! Maybe we'll run into him down there! LOL

I'll be glad to donate libations for the cruise...do any fishing off that boat?

Sounds like a setup for a great weekend!

I have done lots of fishing and scuba diving (great ship wreck dives) but don't ususally fish off the sailboat. a little hard trying to man the sails and fish and the same time. I wish I still lived there, it was a blast.......

I was thinking along the lines of dropping anchor and hanging a line over the side, versus trolling.

That's cool though, I'm all about scuba diving!

Maybe you will live down there again sometime in the future...

C'mon guys, just cause we haven't heard anything in 11 weeks doesn't make us losers...it makes us...well...exceptionally patient and understanding, given that our lives are effectively on hold, our families don't know what to expect, in my case I have to move out of my family out of our house and sell it, and my current job is like suffering constant Chinese water torture.

I'm telling you, we're going to look back one day and laugh....

Especially with the help of Zipperhead's boat and some tasty BEvERages!

KTF!!!

Loser # 3 J3 Driver LETS GO!!!!!

By the way I was not advocating calling anyone! In my case they called me and therefore I respond with e-mails. I had a name and e-mail address because they left them for me. I would definitely not try to get any information about your phase 2 status. When I received my initial call from USIS I was given a fax number to send my records to and a contact person to get in touch with to verify that they have received my forms. I had to track my employers down and get them to send the paperwork in. I am with TG, I would not just start calling around (except your past employers) looking for info. Having said that USIS did say that a fax copy of the records is just as good and at this point they would rather have them faxed. If you employer stated that they had sent them then you are just stuck in loser land with the rest of us. If they had not it will not hurt to have them sent to the USIS fax number to be processed (at least thats what I was told by USIS)
So when are we going fishing/diving??
 
Oh Well,

Just got a call...thanks but no thanks....try again in 6 months...They could not tell me for sure but Dean said that lack of Turbine PIC is mostlikely what did it.
Good luck to the rest of you.

How much turbine PIC did you have? (if you don't mind me asking)

Sorry to hear that Kjkil! I am sure it is no reflection on you, it is just a tuff industry right now. I hope I don't get that call but if I do I will wait 6 months and reapply, I hope you do the same. Good luck!

Awww, man...sorry to hear that. Well, I know you, and can say that JetBlue lost out on an excellent individual. I can't believe you've been in Phase II this long and lack of Turbine PIC would eliminate you now. I thought that would have been determined before entry into Phase II.

Well, now, how long until I receive a similar phone call? I'm getting a bit nervous now.

Just gotta KTF -
