Default JetBlue Training

I figured since there are threads for hiring, interview, class drop, etc. we could make one dedicated to the training process.

I understand it is about 10 days of indoc type stuff, a few systems in the FTD, procedures in the FTD, then the sims.

What else would be helpful to know before arriving at JBU? Any general advice or things to keep in mind?

Dude take a chill pill! Reading your last few posts, you need to relax and just go with it. Training here is not rocket science, and if you show up and just do what they tell you with a good attitude, you will be more than fine.

Dude this question has been addressed so...many...times. You do not need to ‘prepare’ to go to JBU.

Make sure you have enough spare cash to survive 6-7 weeks of training pay and a bit extra to spend at the bar.

Well, what I did, and this may sound a bit unorthodox, was show up to class, do what I was told (more or less), drink beer at the bar or on the patio, repeat.
Seriously. That’s ALL you need. If you need more coddling than that, maybe the airline pilot route isn’t quite meant for you. Not trying to be a D, but it’s that easy.

Calm down. I prepare for everything to the max extent. Us outsiders don’t know what we are walking into here.

But there have been previous threads that say all the same information, saying the same thing "JBU is super relaxed and easy " you don't need to anything special to prepare . Just show up follow instruction and make some new friends . This new thread is not necessary. Relax

Will JB be your first airline or 121 operator?

I’ll never forget the first OE lesson I did with a European carrier. I’m sitting in a wide body for the first time, Boeing for the first time, in Europe for the first time, under EASA regulations on a waiver, and the training Captain keeps barking: why don’t you know this, why don’t you know that, this is ridiculous, did you not study!?! My fellow (European) trainees showed up with pages of notes and here I was with my “just relax it will be fine” attitude...

Different world for sure!
