JetBlue September 20 interview

[Guam360]

ok, back to positive info about jetBlue...

 

[RUhiring?]

FYI....my current employer received the request for records on Thursday.

References not contacted yet (that I know of)

 

[Neubyfly]

Is C&R an AA website/forum or something?

It's nothing but a circle jerk!

 

[DIAMONDDD]

Now THAT is funny!!!! I guess all furloughed guys should find work that is suitable to the AA lineholders.

Yes indeed. You know, for the good of the profession.

 

[Eaglepuke]

Well, if going to jetBlue will piss off the APA, then that is another wonderful affirmation of my desire to go there and shoot up on BlueAid. The Phase II wait is a bit agonizing. I still have not gotten the info they talked about sending regarding the aircraft choice. I have already pretty much decided, but I am curious what they had to say.

 

[flyguy8]

My former employer was contacted also. I guess that is a sign of good things coming. Does anyone know why it takes 5-8 weeks to complete?

 

[Steve Di.]

Anyone hear any more about their background checks, etc? Waiting and wondering...

Steve Di.

 

[ShallowMinded]

I have not heard anything! It's very difficult to be patient for the job of a lifetime. Why is it that they even tell you it could take up to 8 weeeks and you still feel like it is going to happen in a week?

Steve,

You dog! Did you interview? I wish JB would call me!

I got my copy of my FAA record request. Good sign. I might be getting ahead of myself, but have any of you guys that might be going to class soon know if most people bring a car to MCO or is it doable without?

 

[RUhiring?]

I received a call on Wednesday from US Investigations with a question about my employment history.

I heard yesterday of one guy that already has a class date of Oct 26. He interviewed on Sept. 20.

 

[Guam360]

you heard of one guy", you have to tell us more than that.

I have my car there already, would be more than happy to run guys around to Chipotle burrito or anywhere they serve margharitas after school.

I just hope to get the call, to answer your question, 6 weeks without a car, I guess it is possible, training center is near by and plenty of pilots will have cars. there isn't a supermarket for some distance to buy neccessities, ie. beer and touthpaste.

you could do a rental once in a while, EZ Rental car is cheap, iff you are FL resident, I think you are limited to 100 miles, but cheap. their office is close to where we all will be staying. there are like 10 restaurants and 10 other hotels nearby, and the Virgin Atlantic girls stay a few blocks away at the Marriot Hotel, right next to the Hooters.

 

[flyguy8]

All of my PRIA stuff was sent in, and some of my past employers have been called. Some haven't been called. None of my contacts have been called either.. UHGGGGGGGG!!! Not too sure what the deal is. Have all of your guys' contacts been call yet?

 

[RUhiring?]

you heard of one guy", you have to tell us more than that.

He is a very close friend of Smiling Ted.

 

[Guam360]

who's 'Smiling Ted'?

 

[Vingus]

I waited 10 weeks for the call. Yes, it was agonizing....

They said I had an anomoly on my NDR that needed to be cleared up.

I think they call the guys with no "issues" first, then deal with those who need some research.

Good luck.

 

[Sailpilot]

Mid-week check, anyone heard?

 

[kaki]

I'm still waiting.... I know of a few people that started class today, some start on the 26th and there are two more class dates in November. I was told during the interview process that it will take no more than 4 weeks to get a call for a class due to a new expedited procedure regarding background checks and work/residental history verification. We are in week three now and still no call. My references have not been contacted either....should I be getting nervous?. By the way I heard a rumor that they are screening people alphabetically during phase 2 is that right?

 

[RUhiring?]

....I know of a few people that started class today, some start on the 26th....

all of these people interviewed on Sept 20/21???

 

[kaki]

Most of them interviewed on AUG 5th but I know a few of them that interviewed on SEP 20/21st.
