I was inverted

While that used to be true, it recently changed and is no longer a thing. If you’ve had a lot of recent failures, especially 121, that might be an issue. But “2 years” thing is gone.

Got a TBNT off the initial application about 3 weeks ago but they called one of my previous employers about my records today, is that normal?

I was planning on reapplying at some point in the near future.

Did you go to phase two or just an initial tbnt off the first interview?

ChronicFatigue

No interview, all I submitted was the online app. Got a TBNT, not moving forward.

Maybe you were just tired when you filled out the app.

Does anyone have a rough number on how long it’s takes to hold MCO or FLL for a base in the left seat . I know a lot has got shaken up with the 190 MCO closure happening and the merger.

I think if you have one within six month that’s the issue.

JetBlue is sending pilot recruiters to FAPA's pilot job fair in FLL this Saturday. Can you make that? You can ask them one-on-one.

FLL, 7ish years at the end of 2023
MCO, 15ish years at the end of 2023

Greetings all,

I recently applied to Jetblue with 2700 TT but no turbine time, having flown twins the last year and a half at a 135. I really did not expect to hear anything with the lack of turbine time, but received a flight addendum form a couple days later. I filled it out, explaining my two checkride failures (instrument oral 7 years ago and 135 new hire PIC ride) and what I learned- last Thursday. I then received an email the same day saying they would contact me regarding next steps in the hiring process after my documentation has been reviewed. A couple days later I got a "thanks but no thanks we saw heightened competition for the position and decided to move forward with other applicants" email.

I did bust my new hire checkride as a direct entry PIC for a pretty dumb reason at current 135 about a year and a half ago but owned it and have had no issue on ATP captain upgrade, and a couple recurrants, since.

I was wondering if anyone might have any insight on what went wrong here - why they were interested at first and then not, what I could do differently on my a future application and when to reapply OR if I should just give up on jetblue (for now) until I get some turbine time. I didn't add a cover letter or letters of rec on my initial application so I imagine that would be a good place to start.

Thank you
