JetBlue Phase II part II

[av8tor4239]

Now that there is a Sept. 8th class with aprox 42 newhires in it, I was wondering a couple of things....

1) Did anyone in the Sept 8 class interview later than June 3? My understanding is that everyone in that class was internal and/or interviewed in the first group. (ie. not the June 9 or June 18 interview groups)

2) What is the good word on the streeet about the next batch of classess for those in Phase II?

Thanks

Rumors have been rampant about an upheaval in the "people dept." I'm just glad they're having the 8th class. My spidi senses got nothin after that, except we are grossly understaffed!

That doesn't sound encouraging!
Isn't there suppose to be another bid out in the next week or so? I was kinda hoping for another class date say Oct 8th.

and for av8tor4239 - I interviewed on the 3rd but was not invited to the first class. (Maybe background check was hung up, or something?) Here's hoping for the next class.

Thats ok Just a tad anxious - unemployment will do that to you.
Just like to get on soon if possible.

Verna is out to pursue other interest. Dean taking over.

I heard Dean was leaving too....via our other msg board though...grain of salt I guess.

There will be other classes. Lots of vacancies still. Hang in there guys. I'm guessing at least 20/month for the next several months after this first batch.

I'm pi$$ed with many other guys...we should've had you guys training 3-4 weeks ago! Now we're behind the power curve with staffing vs deliveries. Perhaps this is whats fueling the tremors in the People Dept.

Just curious where you guys are getting your information. 3-4 weeks ago? Power curve? I fly airplanes 85 hours a month. Where do you have the time to know all that is B6?

Pilots are generally smart guys. However, we do not control hiring, deliveries or route maps. When I see the next airplane on the ramp or starry eyed fng then I believe it.

Hey Mozzer, just stuff I've heard around campus...doing about 100hrs (credit) a month. And think about it...we've already taken 3 ships...on property right now without any staffing increase....2 E190s and at least 1 320...maybe two. We were already tight. The FNGs don't start till this coming week...they won't be 'on line' for another 6ish weeks. We'll have taken probably another 2 ships by then.

Nov we start DCA and BDL...

Just feels like we're behind.

 

[GuinessGuy]

Training Center guys said that the company wants 100 by the end of '10.....

 

[Headfake14]

100 eh. With the holidays comming up, they better get jamming. Each class will have to be atleast 30. First one I hear is 40ish.

 

[BeachBummer]

42 Started today, 40+/- next month then 20ish in Nov. It could happen... But with the departure of so many people people and little MB. WTF is going on? Are the rats jumpin ship, or are we finally in a long needed restructuring? I tell ya, never a dull moment in this industry.

 

[greyskyracer]

Are they going to do another open house?

 

[BeachBummer]

no word, but I hope so, and they should. They are still going to have to hire for the frames that are comming. those in the pool with be spent by christmas.

I can tell ya there are several of us from the last open house still waiting on a phone call for an interview. At least, that's the way they made it sound. They said numerous times that if we didn't get a call in the first round of hiring to keep updating our stuff and hang tight. At least, that's the glimmer of hope I'm hanging on to.....

 

[av8tor4239]

Heard a good rumor from multiple sources of an October 6 class 40+....

They might tell everybody that...about 5 years ago i did a job fair and talked to JB...knew a bunch of people there...got the same line as you. Eventually (8-10 months later) got the call for the interview and went to class. They made it seems like it would happen alot sooner than it did (they were hiring most of those 8-10 months). What they say might be true, just not timely. Hope this helps in some way.

 

[BeachBummer]

Don't lose hope man, I got that line as well in fall 07'. I just got lucky and was called very soon after the open house.

Heard the same about the oct. 6th class.

 

[curtaindriver]

just heard.....27 new hires in Oct, 10 in Nov.

CD

 

[av8tor4239]

Any guesses when calls might go out for those 27?
