I’m also interviewing on the 12th. Video submission early June, waited about a month, then got the interview date.

9000tt, 3 internal Recs, been applying for 7 years just waiting for a shot.

Congrats,
Was the 12 the only day available? Or was there more options. I am waiting on the date, I work overseas and would like to have an idea. Thank you

WHAT?!? We now have an amazing contract, our pairings are getting so much better, we are hiring like CRAZY (can you say HOLY seniority boost Batman), on-time performance program is #winning and we just blocked all those Skywest RJs that were half painted at the JB paint shop!

I don't know how United and Delta are going to keep their new hires from coming here. We're going to need to devise a lottery system to give everyone a fair chance.

Having a rough week Blue? Between here and BP it seems your slightly annoyed:)

But for the record from what I understand the quality and number of applications has gone up considerably since we got that contract that you are mocking.

Yeah gosh that first year pay now is such a joke.

While not perfect you guys will ***** at just about everything.

It’s an interview thread.

I have no clue but I thought we did away with the window. Anyway from the people I know that screen and do all the apps they have said it’s definitely noticeable. Will we win over the big guys nope not until they are finished with the massive retirements.
(If even at that point)

But I would say we are definitely more competitive now would you?

I've seen guys on here asking when the next window opens and a brief search of JetBlue.com didn't show any first officer openings, so I'm not ready to say the more/better applications isn't a myth.

But I expect we should get more and better apps, we went from WAY behind to just not as far behind, so yeah, we should be more attractive than before.

Or, we were the girl at the bar that was 60 lb overweight with bad acne, now the acting is cleared up partially and we're only 30 lb overweight...

Isn’t a myth. Respectfully go with what you want but they have no reason to lie to me. They were pretty honest they we were definitely having recruiting problems before and issues with quality applications. I’m just telling you what I was told. I know you know I try to not spread unqualified rumors.

Some like them plump ;)

The window was open for a little while in July, according to a friend who applied (again). That window may have gone into August, but I don't know.
