That was Paul. Because you know we can’t have a waterproof coat or anything. Well I guess we can now if we pay more for our “uniform optional coat”

Ah, well, if he mentioned new focus cities I would totally believe that. Right after the cabin interior refresh is done, after the rain coats are installed in the aircraft, after they finish building out FLL, BOS, MCO, STI and SDQ, after OTP 9.0 and after they finish retrofitting all the classic A320s with the sharklet mods, they're doing all of them you know...

Paul, Jim, Bart... who cares? They are/were all puppets.

What kind of flight times are actually competitive to be hired by JetBlue?

I don't know if there is a cookie cutter answer, but I believe 3000 TT and at least 500 TPIC is a pretty good sweet spot.

3k is the bare minimum. Or 3500... can’t recall.
Competitive is relative.

There are some sub 3k hour guys with straight civ backgrounds who we have hired over the last few years. Probably not the norm. I think most applicants have several years in the regionals. As the legacy hiring continues to be strong and the experience pool in the regionals shrinks, I anticipate the number of inexperienced new hires will grow though. Also, the first batch of 0 hour ab initio guys with a fresh 1500 hours (spent in clear and a million Phoenix weather) and who have never seen a jet up close will hit the line fairly soon.
