JetBlue Open House?

[Flyby1206]

I hear there is an open house on Feb 2 for those interested. I assume it is in MCO, anyone have details where/what time? Also, what typically goes on at the open house? Should I bring logbooks? I dont have any internal Letters of rec or contacts, do I have a chance? Also, I looked at the JB website but couldnt find any pilot positions in the careers page. I am a low PIC time regional FO trying to take advantage of the new hiring mins that apparently go into effect soon. Any advice? Thanks!

I didn't bring any logbooks or any LOR's to the open house. I went last year. I got a call for an interview just a few weeks later.

Not sure what your times are, but the " new " mins are set for high time fo's that havnt had the chance to upgrade.....AE. If you are a low time guy thats been a rj fo for a year then the chances are low.

Im an AE FO, and am not sure if I would be 'high time' but am currently at 3600 Total time 2800 SIC in the RJ.

Well if you meet their new mins , it never hurts to try.

You might be close. I believe our new mins still require the ATP, though.

Almost 3000 in a RJ should be enough to go out and fly another RJ, right?

I think he is referring to the fact that 3000 hours in am Embraer regional jet at American Eagle is adequate qualification to fly the Embraer regional jet at Jetblue. E145 vs E190

Management wants us to think that a e190 is a regional jet so they don't have to pay mainline pay. I heard when the a/c was first certified the type rating was EMB-190 and now management convienced embraer to change it to what it is now ERJ-190.
