When is jetblue hiring??

[skytrash969]

Any rumors on the Blue side about possible mergers? They are a pretty small fish in an increrasingly large pond. If they grow, do you think it will be on their own, or merge?

12 days off is the MAX not minimum guaranteed by the new FSM. Add a commute for the junior guy to a AM show then subtract 1 day from days off.

The new FSM builds reserve schedules to 18 day On, section D.1. JetBlue has seven bid periods with 30 days and five bid periods with 31 days. This yields reserve schedules with seven bid periods with 12 days off and five bid periods with 13 days off. Additionally, the reserve manning model makes an assessment of excess reserve coverage after lineholders submit their time off requests in seniority order.

If excess reserve coverage exists after our seniority based schedule adjustment windows, each base and seat is assessed and reserves can be awarded pre-assigned releases from duty (reserve guarantee remains unchanged even though released from duty). The pre-release (PRL) process can yield an additional two days off. This process also protects lineholders to ensure time off opportunities are still available once we transition to our First-Come, First-Serve scheduling process.

May was the first month with the new reserve manning rules in effect. 9 of 16 seats awarded one PRL day to each reserve and one seat received two PRLs per reserve pilot. Modeling from the designers of this process predicts PRL will be available in Jan, Sep, Oct and Nov.

When going through the wizard jet blue online application I did not find any flight time grid.
Is the only way to post your time through the resume you attach or did i miss something.
Thanks for the help

If, can, may, maybe, might, should be, possible, sort of like a B-Fund.

Count on that a lot here.

When that is okay with a new hire then they will, instead of may, do fine.

BTW, Gus, thanks for your hard work. I know W(B)C wants to put his foot on the neck of all reserves so he and the Band of Blue can gobble up and additional .02% of credit.

Who appointed that tool anyway?

 

[CapnVegetto]

Got my app in this morning along with the 80 bajillion others. 1 internal rec. Keeping fingers crossed. Good luck!

 

[HOURBUILDER]

so any help about where to put your flight time in the online application

 

[CapnVegetto]

I actually just stumbled on it by sheer luck. I logged back in to my profile to check something and there it was. I honestly have no idea how I got to it. My advice would be to log back in and screw around. I honestly can't tell you. I got lucky.

 

[lookin4better]

Its in the "pilots only" section.... unless there is a new app.... Ive had the same one in since 2007.

 

[ERfly]

I can't find the flight time or Pilots Only section, either. I filled out a profile about a year ago (before they were hiring) and the only qualifications it asks for are for ATP, etc. No place to put flight time. I just looked on mine and I don't see a space.

 

[xanderman]

Guys I think it's something like>>>>>jetblue.com>work here>log in (or create profile)>manage profile>candidate profile. Section 7 is where you'll find the flight times section...

Found it! Thanks so much! It's kind of hidden in there.

It sounds like part of the hiring process - if you can't find it, you are disqualified...

For those of you that attached a cover letter (hopefully all), to whom in Human Resources did you address it? And to what physical address? I don't have any inside contacts at JetBlue to help, but I would like to look as well informed as possible? I plan on calling HQ on Monday to ask, but would like to complete the app before the weekend is over. Thanks!
