Not every JB pilot has gotten a Blue Dart. As previously stated, the dart is given randomly to a current JB pilot. Once that pilot uses his/her blue dart on a prospective pilot then it is gone forever. No more chances at getting a dart. Basically it is a once in a lifetime guaranteed interview for someone whom you believe would do well at JB.

I've been at JB over 6 years and have never gotten one. Conversely, I've met a JB pilot who got one with less than a year on property.

Old thread but wondering if anything is changed in the program.
If successful in the interview process and not ever accepting a class date (as soon as one is offered) does that burn your Blue Dart donor?

Then one friend postponed the interview a couple of times, and then canceled on the last one. His circumstances changed and he was no longer able to take the 60,000 dollar pay cut that was year one.

Now, apparently my recommendations are not good.


Everyone since has been turned down after the interview even after being prepped for the interview.

Maybe you just ran through your quality friends and are now on to the “B” team. :D

Do you guys still have people asking for help getting hired here? All my friends stopped asking around 3 years ago, even the ones at Kalitta, Atlas, Envoy...
