Training footprint
I searched the form and can’t find if it’s been talked about but can someone share what the training is like? How long it is? Do they give you study material before you arrive on your first day? Is it pretty straightforward or do you still have to build the airplane? The last airline I worked at didn’t have AQP and made you build the airplane. Is it similar?

Beyond that, if you desire to learn more, you will have the second fleet specific ops manual in your iPad, it is the aircraft’s systems manual and will have all the details of the plane in it in the traditional sense if you desire to learn it but will not be tested on it.
When I got hired here 10 years ago and finished training I was very concerned how little I knew leaving the school house but obviously it turned out fine. I worked for legacy Eagle at the time, now Envoy, training there you better know coming to your oral what size and length bolt held on the brake caliper and the torque spec. I’ve been through those training programs and JetBlue’s is not it.

I started in May. The first two people in my class to finish were in Orlando for 6 weeks exactly… Most people finished in 7-8 weeks.
Training was mostly ~3 days on, 1 day off, but there were a few times when I had 3 days off in a row (I nonrevved home for those days. Just have to be sure that you absolutely positively get back in time.)
Some classes give 1/3 of the pilots the option to choose a 1 or 2 week break between indoc and systems. That’s literally an extra 1 or 2 weeks of paid vacation - not bad if it fits your schedule!

It doesn’t hurt to ask. I’d bet yes. No microwaves in room. In the common area on each floor. $26 is plenty at the prices they charge. You will have money left over.
