Any idea why, without a degree, you wont get past page one of DAL's app, yet at JB, the door is wide open?


Or, at SWA, don't even apply unless you have TPIC?

That's easy. Delta and Southwest both pay more than Jetblue and have higher hiring standards. Jetblue is not very many pilots' first choice. It is a decent flying job though and many pilots will apply. They are also probably applying to Delta and Southwest. I cannot see a pilot taking Jetblue over Delta or Southwest though if they have a choice. I'm sure it happens though.

I'd have stuck with jetBlue over Delta. Money isn't everything. I'd rather sit reserve from my house and miss out on some $$ than get in the knife fight of a commute at Delta. Southwest, I'd PROBABLY pass on as well unless I could hold MCO quickly. It's not like I'd be upgrading before I retire there anyway.....

I can see that with Delta but not necessarily at Southwest. There isn't much movement at Southwest and depending on where you live JB could be an overall better deal at the present time.

I know a handful of 3/11 got called today to say hang in there, some were told phase 2 was complete and some were told it hasn't been passed along to the review board yet. 3/11 was told mid to late summer for a class date if accepted.

Wow, were they split evenly between BOS/JFK?

Maybe they are shifting E190 training to all of the Captain upgrades they are trying to push through for summer?

Bases have not been determined yet. Unofficial survey seems heavy on JFK.
