I tell you what, once I told him that I printed off a copy of my profile from the application page on jetBlue's website and copies of a cover letter and resume, he was eager to take them. He wrote his name across the top of the resume with a couple notes like my currency issue which he said could be the only problem I might have "if I received a call" from recruitment.

He said, "involvement of an applicant in their community, in their current company ie; check airman etc. was huge to them.". That, "we know our applicants can fly & have the knowledge, we need to determine if they fit with jetBlue on a personal level."
