In the past, it has been 1000 PIC (does not have to be turbine), 500-1000 turbine (turboprops included), and 1500 total time. Military has received a 0.3 conversion on all time. There are quite a few furloughs out there so the "competitive" mins have moved higher in the most recent hiring period.

Your military experience will serve you well. JetBlue likes military guys as much as they like high time regional captains. Hour and experience help secure the interview, but, if you really desire to come here, go to a flight ops open house with a JetBlue booth or a company open house in Orlando. Meet and Greet.
