At least 6 guys from jetblue have got the phase 1 video interview. Half Mil and half civilian. The question are very similar to JB s TMAAT format. More customer service and CRM coworker friendly.

I could be wrong but what is the difference between a check airman or instructor flying a 121 rj, or flying a 190, 320, 737 or whatever for low cost carriers, any less qualified than an instructor from the military flying your C-5, C-130 , etc.?

Honestly I would think because of their extensive 121 experience they are easily just as qualified if not more suitable.

By no means am I insinuating that military is better or worse than 121/135/91k but in order to respond to the above poster, I think you are incorrect saying that the military pilot is by any means MORE qualified regardless of what they flew in the military.

Is it fair to say mil guys are receiving calls around 3000 TT and civilian more like 5000-6000 TT?
