Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Working on it as we speak. I am looking very much forward to not having a chance.

I have almost everything on that list including good looks but I don't have the 1k pic time. C'mon no whammies!

Stringer

Sounds like a stupid question but here goes anyway:

I just submitted my app to jetblue using the application wizard and wasn't asked anywhere for any of my flight times, only that I have FAA ATP / first class medical and FCC license. I just followed the steps in the wizard and can't see anything that I've missed. Have other people put their flight times on the app? Am I missing something obvious?

It seems such information is fairly vital and there would be a spot for it somewhere, anyone have any info?

Stinger,

The same here. I'm hoping they will get that info (flight time) from the uploaded resume.

ERJF15

Did you guys already create a candidate profile? If so, they should have that info from that.

Stringer

Not just followed the link to apply from the First Officer vacancy on the careers website. Didn't see any link for candidate profile, any idea where that is?

Found it: If you login from the careers website it allows you to find a pilot's only section with a in depth time description. Not sure if it updates the already submitted application and can't resubmit the application.

Grumble

Good luck to you guys. Hopefully this is the beginning of change, especially for those on the street.

Go back to the Recruitment Dashboard and click "Candidate Profile." There are several tabs (including the "Pilots Only" flight time grid) that don't pop up in the normal application.
