 Application window was open for 10 days and there were close to 4000 applicants
 We are likely to select 300 pilots out of this window for interviews, including Bluedarts
 3700 met our minimums and over 2000 are exceptionally competitive
 Average experience is higher than in past application windows
 Competitive is over 5000 hours civilian or over 2000 hrs military fighter or 3500 military
transport/trainer
 More than half of applicants have JetBlue referrals, and 85% have bachelor’s degree. To
be competitive, referrals and a bachelor’s degree are almost a must
 Bluedarts must meet “satisfactory experience” criteria listed in the FOM 10.5, and over
3000 applicants meet that threshold
 2013 – We hired 269 pilots
 2014 - We have already hired close to 300 pilots so far this year, and are slated to hire
approximately 100 more (Aug-Dec). For a total of approximately 400
 2015 – Initial hiring forecasts (which are subject to change) is 250-350 pilots
 Upcoming class dates are 8/27, 9/10, 9/24, 10/15, 10/29, 11/12, 12/3
 We have approximately 100 pilots in the “pool” and all have passed phase 2. They
should all be in class by Dec (though hiring projections often change, so no guarantees)
 Upcoming interview dates are 9/16, 9/30, 10/16, 10/28, 11/6, 11/13
 Candidates interviewing this fall will be for classes in the first half of 2015
 Time from interview to phase 2 completion is approximately 2 months, and we now send
notifications to the candidates when they pass phase 2
 Time from interview to class is 3-6 months, but can be as fast as 30 days if necessary

I'm cautiously optimistic.
