Apparently, this is something that every pilot at JetBlue gets, just once, and it allows them to give it to an outside pilot. This BlueDart gives a guaranteed interview to anyone meeting the minimums at JetBlue.

True? False?
True....mostly.

Not every JB pilot has gotten a Blue Dart. As previously stated, the dart is given randomly to a current JB pilot. Once that pilot uses his/her blue dart on a prospective pilot then it is gone forever. No more chances at getting a dart. Basically it is a once in a lifetime guaranteed interview for someone whom you believe would do well at JB.

I've been at JB over 6 years and have never gotten one. Conversely, I've met a JB pilot who got one with less than a year on property.
