It didn't come up once I got upstairs though, but I was getting concerned when I was still sitting in the lobby 40 minutes after I checked in.

Anyway, I'd guess there were 5-7 in my slot.
If you had, say, a 12PM show, they asked that you arrive 1.5 hours before. I showed up about 2 hours before my show time just in case ... Not sure if they take note of that or not.

So, in the Phase II they note that it's still highly competitive. I wonder what percent of Phase II actually get offered a class. Any thoughts out there?

I'd take a WAG and say 90% of Phase II get hired.

Any idea of what may disqualify people from moving forward from phase II? What makes it competitive, things that came from the background check or general items, like experience/interview performance? Anyone know?

Mostly stuff that pops up in the background check. You won't get a "Congrats you passed Phase II" email until you're almost done with training.

So they make you an offer before they even finish the background check? They must be really backed up if they're taking that risk that they invest a ton of money into someone to find out they had a DWI or something.

I have to imagine that they check the major show stoppers like criminal, credit, FAA Pria etc that are readily accessible and then leave other non-showstoppers for later?

Your background check is completed before you are given a class date, but Phase II isn't officially over until some point later in training. I don't know for sure, but am guessing they keep you in Phase II until the successful completion of training just in case you don't make it through the ground/simulator training course.

I finished IOE in Sept....still haven't gotten the "you've passed phase II" letter, and I'm not holding my breath while waiting for it.

Don't stress the "congratulations, you've passed Phase II" letter. The only important messages post-interview:

- Congratulations on entering Phase II
- Here's your class date
- Study this before your SPV
- PVC bidding guide
- Welcome to ALPA

I started training in mid-2011 and still haven't received my Phase II completion email.

Hey all.

probably a dumb question but I am kinda new to online airline applications.

On the Jetblue online application it asks for "other documents" to be attached at the bottom. Is this for the license copy/medical/certificates etc or is this done at a later date?

Regards
