In 1990 was told by AWA management that we would be acquiring all TWA domestic assets. Guess that finally happened!

The first 30 min of the test was a pita! I'm sure I failed that part! Everyone I've talked to since said the same thing. I don't really know how you'd study for it either. Maybe if I was very fast at algebra would have helped on a few? But it was a crazy. Sort of all over the place. The rest was personality type questions and no big deal. I walked out of there thinking I just blew it. Bottom line: don't worry about it. Doesn't have anything to do with getting hired. (Was told later by an HR type, "don't worry about that fricken test"!). I got the welcome to phase 2 email the next day... )

So if flying the wide body is important to you, ya might want to look elsewhere. They are getting the 320/321NEO planes as they become available for longer international flights though.
The question I had posed to the VP of Flight Ops was, if Airbus can deliver on their promises regarding the capabilities of the LR, would they(B6) be interested. I was told that was the best billion dollar question of the day fwiw. If B6 does M&A with HA, you'll see WBs IMO, outside of that it'll be LRs. My two cents.

Just over 6 months I believe. It's mainly to gather data points for the Gateway Select Program. The idea was to get a "pilot group" baseline however the Union is not a fan of the program and most of the pilot group hence they were having no dice getting the group to take the assessment. That's when new hire interviewees were selected to take it. As has been mentioned it still has no bearing on your Interview performance/selection. It involves a number of hand eye co-ordination/psychomotor tests and also an MMPI test related to personality and psychopathology.

It's a bit of a bear but nothing to worry about. Be well rested for the day and have all your TMAAT questions prepared in advance and you will do well. A lot has been said here before about various Interview Preps which I will echo, I personally didn't use one of the major Interview prep company's such as Emerald Coast, but from personal friends that did use those resources they had resounding success with the Jetblue Interview. As for gouge, I'll repeat as well that aviationinterviews.com is money well spent(about $20). Hope that helps.

Did they just ask the basic tell me about yourself and why JetBlue? Or did it get more in depth? For flight times was it more than just your updated total time and last 12/6 months?
Thanks
