4700 TT, 1300 PIC, 500 TPIC for me. I know a couple others with fairly similar quals in phase 2. The job fair seems to be what helps you get really noticed from the rest of the pack.

My advice to everyone is keep applying and take every chance you get to meet them face to face. It helps.

Good luck!
This advice is spot on. I applied for 3 years and showed up at a Major Job fair every year and even an airshow where Blue had a job fair component. My quals at time of interview were:

- "Large" Part 121 Regional
- ~4700 TT
- ~1300 PIC (0TPIC)
- AS Aviation Degree
- 5 Internals
- A Few B6 Job Fair Reps that swore if they saw me at one more job fair

YMMV, I've had opportunities with HAL & Atlas but B6 is really where I wanted to be for the basing opportunities and it worked out perfectly. I also echo the advice to take every opportunity to network with Blue and apply every window and update regularly.

6700 hours, 550 TPIC, 4000+ PIC, Engineering Bachelor's degree, almost done with a Master's degree with a 4.0, over 15 years of verifiable volunteer work, attended WAI this year and spoke with Blue, app in for almost 7 years, not a peep.

With JB only hiring about 200 guys for the whole year and the fact that they get 3500-6000 resumes each time they open the hiring window, it's a monumental task to even get an interview, let alone be hired on! Don't give up... Many say it has taken them years to get an interview at JB.
Best of luck.

Keep plugging away and trying to attend as many job fairs as you can.

Good luck!

I received the pass Phase II email 2 months ago. Awaiting phone call. Attended 2 Vets in Blue Job Fairs.
Looking forward to JetBlue because their culture is one of the best in the industry. Pay could be better, however, most customers seem to really like B6 and most people I have talked to like the Company.

Question,Why JB don't finish all previous applications and then begin with a new window?
Why they fill out with a tons of apps in all conferences and open windows??
