Totally agree with you. But I'm just passing along what Chris is telling the new guys in reference to the previous post about hiring being scaled back to 200. If it has been scaled back, I would think Chris would know about it and wouldn't be telling new hires the 600 over 8-12 month number.
Just yesterday there was 35 pilots who thought they were going to fly the bus over the puddle. Now they are not.
When I was in training it was 600-650 in the next 18-24 months (I was in training April). So take it for what it’s worth. I hope for my seniority sake it’s 1000 in the next 8 months. But realistically and historically, I do not think we have ever hired what we said we were going to hire.
Also, it begs to ask the question, what are we hiring for? We are short 190 FO’s. We still
have something like 10 320’s parked. But where else are We lacking? The order book doesn’t seem like it needs 600 pilots. Just my observation. The more that get hired the better. However, I’m not holding my breath for 600.

Just to play devils advocate.

Agreed, Chris is sharp, educated and has great social IQ (which that position has been sorely missing in my tenure). He however is a director and has very little policy creating and or staffing decision power. It’s more of a WC or SL decision..

Hey everyone,
just wondering, with jetBlue interviews is there a correlation between success/decline in interviews depending on how much time is spent interviewing candidates?
Like is there a sweet spot or typically no difference
