JetBlue FO to legacy without TPIC?
 

Are many JetBlue FOs trying to make this jump? For the ones who never upgraded at their regional, has a lack of TPIC been a major hindrance?

I know of a fellow that recently left for Delta from B6 with no TPIC of which to speak of, at least as far as I know.

With the amount of attrition we are having, I'd say no it doesn't matter. I know of a few who've made the leap to a legacy with no PIC from a regional, let alone BlewJet. If anything, I'd say it would accelerate these guys/gals as a fresh type rating always looks good.

I know one too.

I had a few "flows" in my class from Cape Air.
They had PIC as they flew a lot of single pilot but most had zero TPIC. The sim guys I asked said they actually were really good pilots, probably due to all the single pilot/no autopilot experience... Good luck to ya.

I know three first year guys who are bailing for legacies with zero TPIC. Not a hindrance. There are many of us who are ready to make the jump soon if a solid CBA doesn't show up soon. You can only tolerate getting paid 30-40% less than your peers for so long...

Ha. TPIC means nothing anymore. Having experience is "icky" nowadays to HR types.

Why wait for a CBA? You've seen first hand what management thinks of pilots. Do you really think you'd be better off at Delta or JB IF the contracts were even the same?

Remember, growth MAY happen. Retirements WILL happen.

Gup

Plenty have done it . Don't sell your self short , go to a job fair and tell/show the recruiters why you want the job and how you ll be a great fit . They easily look over the lack of TPIC.

Having worked job fairs and done recruiting , I can tell you from personal experience, what's in the resume is really only one part of what is looked at, when you have 1000 guys all in suites all look sharp , all have decent resumes , yet several can't have a decent conversation or hardly look you in the eye when your talking with them or explain why they actually want the job versus thinking they deserve it , then you II get the kid who comes along ,blows you away , great guy , can talk about other stuff other than flying , maybe doesn't have the PIc due to what ever reason maybe out of his control , besides lack of PIC over all great package , he ll get picked .

Don't all your self short guys , don't think just cause you don't have he PIC it won't happen, sell your self .

Cheers

What about with 3600 jetpic? I'm not getting called either, idk
