If you are under 35, have pic, no busts, a clan driving record, don't live in NYC, BOS, or FLA... YOU ARE A FLIGHT RISK. There's a good chance you'll leave here within 24mo.
Jetblue is weighing newhires differently than in the past. That said we do have a lot of excellent qualified resumes coming in. Those resumes are also out there with delta, aa, yonited, and SWA too.

How big of a deal is the driving record? I wasn't the best driver in my early 20's...
Luckily Im under 35, mostly PIC, 1000TPIC (turboprop), and live in S. Fl.; currently obtaining some jet time but still under 100 hrs.
I'd be ecstatic at having BOS or NY anyways...if given the chance.
Hopefully I can buy some interview prep and learn how to convince them I'm not applying at other airlines...cuz I'm really not, at least yet.

I'm not saying they don't take a look at the big picture that you described but I think it's far down the list. Maybe these are some things they look at when the candidate is on the edge of approval, but initially I doubt it.

2 turbo prop and 1 corp, all JFK based. Not sure about smaller bases.
In a effort to mitigate attrition I think JetBlue may be targeting pilots with a reasonable level of experience but limited to no PIC time. Qualified to fly here but perhaps not to leave for a major? Who knows. Hiring department, excuse me, talent acquisition is closer to black ops or the CIA.
