I would visit the JetBlue jobs website regularly. If it opens for pilot apps, then we are hiring. Honestly, I do not know if it is open or not right now. It was not as of last month. JetBlue went to another of these job fairs and collected resumes, etc. last year without intentions to immediately hire. If you want a shot, though, you should go and meet Verna Kay and her team. Unless you know guys here, that is the best way. Personal contact with the hiring team is viewed quite favorably.

Last month, the hiring team posted no hires for 2010. Base goals for pilot count showed contraction at nearly all bases through Dec 2010. This data was published, though, before a strong third quarter and a significant Boston expansion announcement. We are hiring flight attendants now, which in the past, has occassionally presaged pilot hiring.
