Like USMC said, there are many who had a blue dart but still didnt get hired.
Sometimes we have a rough idea of class sizes, but its not official and only rumor. For 10/17 Ive heard 9 A320 and 11 E190 spots, and roughly the same for 11/7.
So if one did receive a Blue Dart would you then contact B6 HR or the Chief Pilot and inform them that you had one, or would you just apply through the standard online application route and somewhere on your application mention you were in possession of Blue Dart? I guess I'm trying to figure out what a "guaranteed interview" actually means and I have searched high and low on this forum without much of a definitive answer on how the Blue Dart process actually works. Is there anyone on the forum who has ever been employed by B6 using one?
