I sent my stuff in there too, I also bought a powerball ticket. I figure my chances are just about equal.

Not an ideal situation, but he really wants a shot at JB. I imagine there will be tons of ATP rated pilots applying, so I would not expect a call if you don't meet the mins. Sorry 'bout that.
Thanks for the info! I'm in the same boat as your buddy with 4500 total/ 3000+ RJ FO time and no upgrade on the horizon. Might look at buying an ATP!

Auburn190Flyer - Any hopes for people like who have their ATP (300+ME) but don't have any 121 time? I graduate with my Masters in Aeronautical Science this Saturday

Likely, no.

If you look at the competitive mins that they posted and then have ALL of the TPIC be in turbojet and then add 1000 hours to each of the totals, that is likely what will be competitive.

One thing I have always heard is that Jetblue hires good workers and people they like over pure hours but that will change. They will still stick to their principles but will just pick the people who fit their culture out of the pool of the excessively qualified.

+ an insider to get invited to the "not so open" house.

Almost there, 2 out of 3.
