United to JB
Currently about to hit my one year at United and to say the grass is not always greener on the other side is an understatement. I have been having considerations of going to JetBlue as I do not care about wide body flying and would like to move to BOS (UA does not currently have a pilot BOS base). Seeking any input from the handful of pilots that I have heard about that have made the switch from a legacy to JB and your thoughts on wether it was worth it. I realize this will not be taken well from many as many are at JB to try and get to a legacy but it’s a personal choice for me when it comes to QOL and work culture. Any input would be appreciated especially those that have made this jump or turned down a legacy. TIA

Background Checks
So I have been issued my CJO and when I checked the status of my background check HireRight said it’s 77% complete and they are waiting on my National Driving Registry and my Accident/Incident record. My question is…how long did it take other people to get their background check done. I am sitting at about 2 weeks, and they said they estimate March 16th completion. Is this normal? 4-6 weeks? Thanks in advance for the replies!

Been here for a year and my HireRight never finished. They are an extremely inefficient company. Probably how felons slipped through the cracks.

On the topic of background checks - are they going to care if my address history isn’t perfect? I’m probably off by a couple months here or there in regards to my addresses but they’re all there. I’ve lived 12 places in the last 10 years lol.

Probably not, and if they do, who cares, your career will be better at DL/UA anyway. But really, they hired a convicted violent felon still serving probation. I wouldn’t worry about some dates being off.
Just disclose it in the interview and I’m sure it won’t be an issue.

I already have a CJO… didn’t know about needing 10 years of residential history until after I got the background screening info. I sent an email letting them know the addresses might be off a couple months, never heard anything back.
