1600 hours total
500 turbine/121

Ex-military

Internal letter of rec from a senior Captain
And I check the “minority box”
I haven't heard of us taking people under 3k TT (minus zero to hero programs). TT requirements are decreasing by the day, so don't be discouraged. IMHO, the best thing you can do is show that you really want to be here-- LOR's are looked at VERY favorably. Also go to OBAP etc and work the booths hard. Since you are prior military, try your best to get into Vets in Blue.
Good luck to you and keep applying! Jetblue really likes to hire folks who really want to be here!
