Application at JB and WN for the past year. (Hoping for WN)
This summer got JB phone recording interview followed immediately by in person. Went well I thought, though during the HR interview I pointed out that it was kinda tacky interviewing 10 applicants in the same room at the same time literally talking over each other asking the same questions lol. Not surprised I got a TBNT letter a week later. Wasn’t too upset cause it was more of a practice interview for my eventual WN interview.

A month later for the WN interview, went amazingly, job offer followed. Start training in January.

Was an interesting experience to say the least but the interview process seems to be a jumble, trying to cram too much too fast. Will be interesting to see how things at blue pan out.

So the moral of the story is , don’t overthink it. The right fit will fall in your lap. If you apply and don’t get it, something better may be on the horizon.

How long is SWA upgrade these days?

I understand, thanks for your answers.

I've proof read the application about 10 times before submitting so I'm honestly not sure. I just read it again a few times and the only errors I can potentially think of are:

- I have less than 12 months validity left on my US passport (but more than 6 as required on careers page), the option on the application form asks for 12 though, so I had to tick no
- My grades are not in GPA format so I had to write a percentage format as it's the only thing that would be accepted in the field
- I don't live within 90 miles of a JetBlue base, my permanent address is in Montreal, Canada
- I have no Instructor time, I went the EASA route for my flight training and have been in the airlines ever since I've had 150h of flight
- I don't have a JetBlue Pilot Recommendation as I do not know anyone who works at JetBlue

Those are the only things that come up, like I said before I meet all requirements, have no failures, have a lot of recent flying time and am A320 rated with an unrestricted ATP.

Any ideas?

Looking like 7 -8 I believe now. I know it’s a long time but it’s offset by stability and hopefully a good contract in the future;)

Nobody should be going to any airline to satisfy someone else. Enjoy SWA and that god-awful, sharp, cramped, ancient and uncomfortable 737! :p

I wouldn't worry about a training failure too much. I hear JB is now hiring convicted felons.

Interesting I would have thought the moral was don’t interview at places you don’t really want to be at, with a bonus advice of if you insult the interviewer it probably won’t turn out well.
