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.
I don’t think they were fully staffed for the contract requirements before the hiring stopped. I have a feeling it’s that, and if keeping the 190s longer they need to upgrade captains again

He could be absolutely honest and still be completely wrong. Those decisions are made well above his pay grade and he can only repeat what he knows.

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..

It’s not. It’s 500% true.

Yet the last class supposedly maxed out at 4 pilots due to sim constraints.

I'd buy the 200 number, if they get busy hiring last month. JB hired less than 400 in 2019, and there's just over 6 months left this year. No way they can hire more than 200-250 IMO.

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
