Like in Orlando with the new a320 sim with 3+ more enroute, and the multiple a220 sims enroute? Good idea. I agree.

Says who???

At the very least, we keep half of them while speeding up deliveries of 220’s. As someone pointed out, we’re expected to start exceeding 2019 levels by the fall. I’m sure they plan to hire and train as many as they can.

Ever sit in a recurrent class where the CP comes in and shows you a slide of all the planes we are getting. The next day we defer most of them? No joke.

Trust me I hope you are right and I am wrong.

I would think they could get a good deal. Not many of us 190 operators out there.

But man they need a redo of those interiors some are beat to crap unfortunately.

JetBue for 20+ years: Overpromise and underdeliver!

eh. Not a company guy here, but I’m pretty happy here.

I think given the pandemic, our aggressiveness has been great. Instead of being walked all over, we are fighting for growth, new routes, and increased market share.


edit- I’m not sure if you were referring to pilot hiring numbers or something else.

if it was, I am in total agreement that the last few years, the pilot hiring numbers have changed almost daily, and that is frustrating. I hope for more consistency in pilot hiring moving forward.

The irony is that every major airline thread on APC is saying the same thing. So who will be right?

Well, for the guys that "love" JB, even when they are wrong they are "right".

Jump seated on you all to work. As always a great ride. Was talking to the crew and they said they only had 4 in the new hire class. I saw hiring posts through off brand sites like indeed, flying seeker etc. but nothing on jetblues actual site. Any rumors of when they think hiring is going to open on the jetblue site?

4 started 2 weeks ago and 15 started last week. Another class starts on 6/5, not sure how many. We are emptying the pre covid pool. App window and interviews should start soon. Next month or so I think.
