When is jetblue hiring??

[Av8tor91]

Anyone has any idea as for when JetBlue is going to start hiring pilots? Any info is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 

[Floatplane]

Word is sometime in the 4th quarter. I think the number is somewhere around 150 pilots.

 

[CRJFlyer]

There has been rumors over on the netjets furlough board that someone heard of some hiring also. who knows when, it can't come soon enough!

 

[clickclickboom]

I would be happy to interview NJ pilots.. They would make an excellent addition

Thanks....Jetblue was my first choice to work back in the early days when they first started flying to my hometown..Unfortunately I never had the PIC requirements. During their last hiring spree, I applied but so did 1 million others...

I've truthfully always wanted to work there, jumpseated/non-revved on them alot back when I could..greatest group I ever had the priveledge of jumping on.

Had a chat with a CP today. He mentioned about that 150 # above. Interviews Q4 with classes in the winter-spring. More 190's on the way with 7 Bluewings a/c.

Isn't Bluewings an A320 operator out of Germany? I thought I saw one at DUS this past summer... See below:

Why would anyone consider going to jetblue? It seems like a dead end job with no hope for upgrade and a fleet that is shrinking... arrival of four E-190's and the return of up to five A320s for the remainder of 2010 from what I was told from someone who works there. I guess they've also deferred future deliveries as well. I don't mean this as flame, but it seems like it is a dysfunctional airline with an uncertain future. Do they have a five year plan? Do they have a strategic ten year plan? Will Lufthansa bring the company into the Star Alliance? Are my countrymen going to force jetblue to spend money on building them up to make them more marketable for parting out to other carriers? Why aren't they able to compete effectively against Virgin and Spirit? I'm sure Delta, Southwest and Airtran would love to see the elimination of competition for the low hanging fruit of the low yield Florida markets. I know much of this could be said of any airline today, but it just seems, in my opinion, jetblue is aimless...

Kind of like your post.... D-bag

Dude,

I'm not lookin' to throw rocks... I'm asking questions, perhaps somewhat antagonistic and somewhat rehtorical. I've been kicked around this industry and forgive me if I'm not all rosey about its future.

Given what I see on your profile, you might be jetblue, how do you feel about the future of jetblue?

Thanks

Year over year the fleet has grown with MAYBE the exception of one year. I think jetBlue has held there own against Virgin,WN,Spirit, and the legacy carriers. That said it is looking like a niche carrier at best. We'll see.

Stop!

Stop, stop..... come up for air!!!!!

 

[GuinessGuy]

Give the guy a break.........Although i work at Blue and feel that I'm treated very well (but i drive to a good sched), He wants/needs a job and mybe hoping to get a PM from a blue pilot/recruiter.......It WAS A BIT MUCH

 

[lookin4better]

Yeah the cheese was a tad thick.... but hey, he needs a job.

Ah, man it totally sucks here. Airbus still pays for our MX, we don't even pay for our airplanes. What are we going to do when we have to pay bills!??!!? Isn't that new terminal in JFK free too? EMB had to buy Xjet to fly our routes cause those 190's suck so bad. The pay keeps going down and we furlough every 6mo to 2yrs. I mean, it is better than mesa... I think. I never worked there but I imagine it's better than mesa. D#mn United is going to stage a hostile takeover next Q and flush us out the bottom. Wow... why did i even apply? Boy I can't wait to go to delta at the end of 14000 guy list. That's just silly, UPs will be hiring next month anyways I'll go there.

Now that my sarcasm has ended. Life is what you make it man. JB probably isn't for you. Could be better here, but everywhere could be better. Enjoy the ride or die early and angry.

Well said.

That, sir, was one of the best pieces of advice I've read on here in a very long time.

Atleast CRJflyer needs a job and was only trying to do what he can.

Clickclick is the ******************************* trying to look like he has any say in what happens!

Click, your cool, awesome and a "skyGod"... now can I have an interview? Oh wait, you have nothing to do with that... 2 ex- flight attendants make that call

Damn forgot what msg. board I was on:laugh:

It was a little sappy, but heres the back story..

Had a GF who started there back in '01...I was flying at a small regional at the time. Jumpseated on them a ton, went to her FA graduation, liked everyone there, shook hands with Neeleman(sp) etc..Did alot of over nights with her and the crews she flew with..Lots of fun..JB even got me outta a bind while I was stuck in PR. Had to sit in an FA seat in the tail, but it was a way home when every other major wouldn't help out.

(of course most of that was nearly 10 years ago, so I'm sure it has changed)

Probably will never get to a major, only an associates degree, lack much PIC time and the majors haven't had a great track record with hiring in about 9 years or so.

If I was gonna choose between airlines at the moment I'd pick SWA and then JB....No thanks getting stuck on the bottom of DAL/NWA and their 12,000+ pilots. AA hasn't hired in awhile I'd say, and United (well do I even have to mention United?) CAL..no thanks starting at $30/hr with no health benefits for 6months (unless that has changed)

So yes, JB would be one of my 1st choices..NJA was great, starting pay was awesome, and it was fun while it lasted. Pass bennies were sorely missed. And I happen to love flying the Hebrew highway!

Sounds like Spirit might be a good choice too...

Who do you work for? Oh wait, You're furloughed.

You said aimless?

Does anyone know if they will look at someone with my time and having been at two seperate majors? I'm sure they look at the individual, but I'm afraid for people like me, who've flown at the majors, places like Colgan fear we may expectations or attitudes. I'm asking this because I would like to go to Colgan for improvement in QOL from the place I'm currently working. I too would love to be a Saab guy out of PVD as well.... no commuting.... home every night.... A SCHEDULE again(no matter how bad).....

I've applied and applied but no luck.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I am sure Colgan is the place to be.

Jerkoff!

http://www.airliners.net/photo/Blue...64679/L/&sid=474730d6c8b8d1dd5b3fd91862500376

Blue Wings closed there doors in January. We sold them 5 of our A-320's back in 06, and they acquired 2 more on there own. So there is now 7 used A-320's with the IAE engines on the market. Numbers of 3-7 seem to keep showing up in conversations. All of the 320's would go threw a heavy check before we operated them. Nothing official but the rumors of hiring are o plenty.

 

[CRJFlyer]

FWIW..I've been told to expect an open house in mid-summer, with some possible interviews/classes shortly thereafter....But thats still 4 months away so who knows how accurate it will turn out to be?

Where do they usually have an open house? Are they usually at the JetBlue training center @MCO or do you mean at one of those flt.ops.com type job fairs?

 

[Av8tor91]

They are usually held at the JB training center in MCO.

 

[Headfake14]

If we have an open house...there won't be an official announcement. You'll hear about it from one of us on here and other word-of-mouth. I don't ever recall JB officially advertising the open houses.
