I've been in phase 2 over 2 weeks and my hire right background check is complete.

If you’re still in phase 2, then your background check is not complete. Regardless, it doesn’t go in perfect order. 3 years ago when I was hired, people were not given classes in the exact order they interviewed and started background checks etc. Also, they fill classes a certain way; they try for a mix of 121, 135, military etc.

I thought you said you haven’t heard anything from your interview. If background checks are being done in less then a week I’d be shocked but good for those guys for getting a classdate within a week of interviewing.

And he was on training pay until that last round of paperwork cleared, at which point he’d get back pay to his LOE. He said he wasn’t the only one. So, it sounds like they have been trying to accelerate it, but got bit in the process.

Current B6 guy here……

while it’s been forever since I was in phase II, I would highly encourage everyone to ask our background checker of the day if they need anything. Being politely proactive is certainly the way to go IMHO.

Supposedly attrition at JetBlue has really picked up. Talked to some hiring folks and they said that the number of JetBlue pilots interviewing and leaving for the legacy airlines is really high right now.

Have you been noticing this?

But the difference is nobody was really hiring much the first 6 months of this year. So the bulk of guys leaving is July onward. It’s mostly 0-3 year guys. I’m guessing we can expect to lose 10-15 maybe 20 a month for the foreseeable future, at least at the front side of this current wave at the big 3.

Chances of getting airbus Boston

What are the chances of getting 320 in Boston? My commute will be easier there but I wonder if I have chances to get the 320 there or should I try to get JFK instead?
