Did you mean 160?

Got it from their discussion about their next crew base here on post 24. Using a little google it looks like they will hit 200 in the next 18 months, so it looks like their claim is wrong in that thread. Maybe 260 was a future goal, or maybe they just got it wrong with a misunderstanding or something and their source said 160 and it was misheard/misread as 260? No clue. Regardless, at least talking to my buddies there (and a little from that whole thread), it sounds like BOS will be a base for them at some point. Perhaps they will give virtual bases another shot in the current negotiations like they kind of did in their last (current) contract (but never really implemented it and they shut it down before it even started) instead of doing a real base. Not sure. Not a delta expert. But my original point to the guy with the TBNT was that if I lived in/near BOS I wouldn’t shy away from a legacy (especially delta) just because JB has a base there, as I bet DL can and will support a pilot base there (virtual/real) in the next couple years with their planned growth depending on how much of it is RJ vs mainline.

I don’t see a mainline base there anytime soon, since the equipment they bring into BOS is always something different it seems. I’ve never seen for instance, a dozen 737’s parked at Terminal A. I’ll see one 737, plus an A330, two A320, a 757, etc... Maybe that’s where virtual basing comes in, but I have no clue how that works. Also Republic just opened a crew base there, and they do a good chunk of the BOS flying with the help of Endeavor and Skywest.

He's not answering, but I think if it was a geography thing he would have just said so.

I suspect it's "culture". Or qualifications.

Do you not have a four year degree? I’m genuinely curious why you narrowed it down to JetBlue and Hawaiian. I understand not wanting to go to Southwest. I also understand not wanting to fly international, but legacies have narrow bodies too. Geography could make sense except for the Hawaiian part. I’m certainly not judging your choices, just wondering how you made that decision.

uhhhhhh this was not me that posted this......a buddy of mine decided to be funny and posted this without me knowing. He is not a fan of this site. I tried to delete it, but cannot find any way to do that??

I do have a 4 year degree and after talking to several of my friends at jetBlue, I will wait my 6 months and apply again. I guess there are several people at jblue that interviewed twice and got hired on the second go round. Anybody know the logic behind the having to wait 6 months before you can apply again?

I can’t speak as to the logic of such a decree, but I can tell you that if JB was where I really wanted to go, I would continue to apply every window and keep my app updated.

Squeaky wheels, you know?

Has anyone in Phase 2 gotten any of their PRIA stuff back? Or have you gotten any other info from GIS besides "still processing"?

I got a copy of my FAA records in mail yesterday. Hopefully things are moving along

Same. When I spoke to GIS last week they said employment and education had all been verified and they were processing the remaining PRIA.
