JetBlue September 20 interview

[flyguy8]

By the way I heard a rumor that they are screening people alphabetically during phase 2 is that right?

In grade school I always got stuck in the back of the class because of my last name beginning with "W". I really hope this is not the case!:laugh:

I know exactly how you feel....

I got the copy of my Fed records the other day, but that is it. I was told it helps if you stare at your phone for hours on end, willing it to ring, so I have been doing that quite a bit. I had a fantasy that I would get a call and get into the class on the 26th, but it is now less than two weeks. Anyone know when the next classes are so I can fantasize about them??

I have a military friend that interviewed on the 21st and was offered a 12th Oct class, he turned them down in the 11th hour. he said the day before their is a BBQ, so class actually begins the day before all known class dates. So he said no thanks on the 10th. he's going to Canyon Blue. I know a "Blue dart" that interviewed on the 20th and is in the 26th class.

I am hearing classes for the Bus are every two weeks, Nov 9. Nov 23, etc.

who knows, I am waiting in Bali and catching good waves, eating cheap food, avoiding getting blown up.

Bali Bagus!

jetBlue Bagus!

FWIW, I was talking to one of the employees of the JetBlue uniform provider the other day and he told me they were notified by B6 management to plan for 600+ new hires for 2006.

During my interview process (Sept. 20th) I was told by the pilot recruiters that they want to train 56 newhire pilots per month for at least the next 24 months...That is 1,344 pilots in the next two years....that number is insane if you ask me.

 

[Stanky]

When I got hired at United 5 years ago, they said I could be a junior 737 skipper inside 3 years. Things change and I'm coming up on my 4th anniversary of furlough. Now I spend my time chewing my fingernails raw and waiting to hear from jetBlue.

How many people are currently on the seniority list?

 

[mannyaplus11]

They told me during my interview on the 20th that they had just hired their 1000th pilot.

I don't have any fingernails left. HURRY!!!!

 

[kaki]

I think they are up to 1200 pilots now...

I have no fingers left...

 

[SpeedBird]

1247 pilots as of yesterday's newest class.

 

[Sidestick]

Waiting is the hardest part

Heard it from a reliable birdie that there are still a few folks from the August 5 interview awaiting class dates. Not sure if the delay is in their paperwork or if the recent classes were just full. It appears most Phase 2bies (of which I am one) that interviewed on 9/20/05 are destined for November class(es).

Here sidestick....come here sidestick...almost there...so close....

 

[kaki]

Actually, there several people from the Sep 20th/21st interview that started on the 12th, some start on the 26th and a few on Nov 9th. As far as I know there is one more class in Nov that starts on the 16th or the 30th, I have not been able to confirm that. I also heard that they are not running any newhire classes in December.

New hire class:
October 12 24 or 26 pilots
October 26 24-26 pilots
November 9 24-26 pilots
November 30 24-26 pilots
and maybe a Dec class, still not determined.

You don't need a side stick! You ought to think about the Ram Horns (EMB-190). It rocks!:nuts:

 

[Eaglepuke]

Ok, now I have my copy of my PRIA stuff. Must be getting closer.

 

[mannyaplus11]

I got my PRIA in the mail today also, another day, another session of nail biting.

 

[kaki]

Nothing yet for me, no news, no PRIA, no calls....I hope "no news" is good news

 

[Steve Di.]

Got a copy of my Fed records the other day, I think on Monday or Tues. Nothing else so far.

Steve Di.

 

[mannyaplus11]

My present employer just got a request, he's mailing it back today. Another step closer.

 

[Sidestick]

For what it's worth, I was told by a "guy who knows a guy" that the classdate calls for our interview group are to begin next week.
