NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 09/18/14 -- JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ: JBLU) today announced that Robin Hayes, the company's current President, will succeed Dave Barger as Chief Executive Officer, effective February 16, 2015. Barger will serve on the JetBlue Board of Directors until February 15, 2015, and Hayes is expected to join the Board on February 16, 2015.
Joel Peterson, JetBlue's Chairman, said, "On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to congratulate Robin on this appointment and thank Dave for his extraordinary contributions to JetBlue for more than 16 years. Dave's talent, intellect, and inspired leadership helped make JetBlue what it is today -- one of the world's great brands and a leader in its industry. Robin is a highly talented and experienced airline executive who understands JetBlue's culture and strategy. During his time as Chief Commercial Officer and President, Robin proved he is the right leader to take JetBlue into the future."
Barger said, "Helping to found and lead JetBlue has been the experience of a lifetime. We set out to create a better airline, and through our commitment to that simple goal, the people of JetBlue succeeded in establishing a new standard for value and customer service in our industry. I have been looking for the right time to take the next step in my life for a while, and my decision was ultimately determined by the strong state of the company and my absolute confidence in Robin's leadership. I want to thank Robin and all of our crewmembers. With their incredible passion and dedication, I know that JetBlue's best days are ahead."
Hayes said, "It is a tremendous honor to succeed Dave as CEO of JetBlue. I continue to believe in our mission to inspire humanity, and as CEO I will be a faithful steward of the culture that has made JetBlue so successful. The airline industry has never been more competitive, but I believe we can continue to grow profitably. As we maintain our operational focus on safety and efficiency, we will continue to expand our network in underserved markets and roll out new products that enhance the JetBlue Experience and create value for our shareholders. Our commitments to our customers, crewmembers, and investors are all integrally connected and critically important to the long-term future of this great company."

Not sure what is going on. Based off the information people are posting and the email from the "Poolie" Volunteer, I thought sure we would have heard something. That being said, I don't know how many of us on 3/20 passed Phase II and are in the pool. I suspect that the ones posting on here are a small percentage. Staying patient...

Sat in the cpo yesterday waiting for a flight. News from there(grain of salt of course).
There are ~~100 swimmers in the pool. All should be in class in or before January. We are actively interviewing. We require roughly 175-200 new pilots to cover new frames for next year. Planning for 200-400 newbs based on attrition 2015.

Same thing we were told in the interview (9.16). They said there was a possibility of an early December class, but most likely early 2015. Either way, the current pool should be emptied by December and then 400 pilots next year (taken with a grain of salt, of course).
