Military Helicopter Pilots at JetBlue
JetBlue is one of the few majors that counts rotary-wing hours towards hiring minimums.
For the mil helicopter pilots out there that ended up at JetBlue, what were your "stats" when you got hired?
Thanks in advance.

I left active duty with roughly 2500 RW hours and basically ATP mins (primary flight school plus 100+ hours in a rented Seminole). After 18 months and 800-ish hours at a regional I was invited to Vets in Blue. Got the interview invite shortly after that. I’ve yet to meet a pure helo type at B6 that hasn’t done at least some time at a regional.

Yeah, the C-12/King Air types are a different animal... I should’ve defined pure helicopter guys as those of us who flew only helos post-primary/UPT. If you’ve got significant King Air time to include PIC you can probably get on anywhere. Same goes for those that instruct in the T-6 post fleet tour.
