Applying often seems to help, as the number of applications is looked at. If you want to fly at jetblue, apply at every opportunity. At least that’s my advice. Worth what you paid for it.


I have heard definitively that multiple applications is looked upon favorably. Definitely why I got hired because I can’t figure out any other reason why. [emoji23]

I only applied to one window. No job fairs or internal recs. Relatively low total time and an all corporate background. The only thing I have going for me is being a 135 Check Airmen and over 1000 tpic. I'm not sure how I got the call, but I'm currently in phase 2.

Sorry, but how is that relevant?

It's not. He's just a troll. Ignore him.

It wasn't relevant. You didn't see my jest.

Do I have a chance getting hired without a degree? Coming up on 3000 TT no pic, live in NYC and attended few job fairs. Clean as a whistle.

Hard to say. Lots of variables. Depends on what kind of time the 3k is, your demographics, what your resume has on it...that kind of stuff. They use a whole person concept, not a fixed number in a logbook. That said, your time is a little on the light side. But I would apply anyway if I were in your shoes. It’s free.

Applied twice already, coming up on 1000 hrs 121. Lots of Managment skills inside and outside aviation world. Hopefully that will help. Thanks brother.

Unlike DL, a degree is preferred here (a discriminator) but not required. I know folks who don't have a degree who got hired. And I know folks who have lots of hours, a masters degree, and still have. Ot gotten hired. It seems to be more of the "total person" concept is all I can tell ya.
