Had the Assistant Chief Pilot in JFK, who is also on the hiring committee, jumpseat with us just a couple of weeks back and I asked him about hiring. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but he was firm about no hiring until late summer......next year (August - September 2013). Sorry guys. He confirmed what was said above about JetBlue being extremely fat on pilots due to not as many pilots as they thought returning to AA and DAL.
