Competitive Hiring Minimums
 
When were you hired?
What were your 'stats' at the time of hiring?
Were you a veteran?
What was your timeline from CJO to beginning training?

Not a veteran, and they had a resume that was over a year old with significantly lower time than I had at the time of my interview, including much less TPIC. I think the old resume had about 3,200 hours.

From Phase Two complete to class was just over two months, and Phase Two lasted about a month.

I was hired this Spring.
3800TT and 1100TPIC in the E170 and 4 year non-aviation degree from state school.
Not a vet myself but my class probably had 5 or 6 out of 15 that were.
CJO to class was exactly 2 months.

Does attending job fairs get you noticed any quicker?

3500 TT
400 TPIC (121 regional)
1300 A320 (Middle East airline)
Current FAA ATP with 320 type

Any chances?

I know a few guys that got the call after attending a job fair, just make sure you applied in the most recent window before going to the job fair.

I’d say attending a recruiting event definitely helps people get pulled out of the stack quicker. I don’t believe JetBlue Pilot Recruitment shows up to these events just to tell everyone “we aren’t accepting resumes” like a lot of the other Major airlines have started doing.

After spending a couple months in the school house and talking with lots of new hires I’d say you definitely are competitive because I met other new hires with your experience or less. If you have a 4 year degree and +1000TPIC (JetBlue preferred minimums) I’d say the phone should be ringing any minute with the amount of hiring we are doing.

Great to hear! I think they will be at OBAP at the end of the month, i will try to fly out to LAX for that. I know i am kinda thin on PIC time and unfortunately No B.S degree, I hope A320 type and time counts for something.

Anyone know usually how long after applying can one expect a call?

Thanks!

Is it even heard of for JetBlue to hire anyone with 1700TT and 620 turbine time? Curious if it’s even worth my time applying yet
