I don't think "a few sims" meets the rigor of a year at UPT. People pass the AF initial screening and wash out of UPT all the time. My bet is those people will still end up at Jetblue.

They called Tuesday. The test reference was in the email cover letter in the Interview/Location: paragraph.

Should I feel insulted that Jet Blue hasn't called, but is willing to hire a zero time guy through an ab initio program?

If you are in the left seat with a solid background and can't make it over to jetblue before 2020 when the first ab-initio guys comes through the door... you're playing the game wrong. I highly recommend doing your research and job fairs.

What he said...

However, it's what the other guy said too. There's a game to be played. Unfortunately, that's the way it is. Especially if your just a AWB.

My packet didn't mention this either....but I did get an email saying there was a slight change to the interview schedule and to plan to be there a few extra hours.

Any recommendations or ways to prep?

From: EMB Any seat available

So a guy who has never flown a plane will get an interview and a guy(me) does not because my 4 years of 121 experience is not enough experience.
