It’s a huge time suck and it’s a little unpredictable on when you’ll go to training and how that interferes with your personal life. I had to miss a wedding because they can send you four months prior to your training effective date.

Sometimes it’s good to learn something new, and the JetBlue training program isn’t something I would sweat about if you come prepared. The fact that you’re asking questions tell me being prepared won’t be an issue for you. Now if you’re bidding the 190 for other reasons like seniority or QOL, that’s a different story.
Is it they can send you 4 months prior to training effective date or award effective date? I'm switching to the bus with a training date in February and award effective date of May and was wondering how often they actually move you up etc. Especially when you already have a training date.
