How long is it taking guys to get a full line as a FO at JetBlue? How long is the upgrade?).
Money talks, Bull$hit walks- until JetBlue starts having a competitive contract they'll become an increasingly revolving door outfit like SWA, frontier, Spirit, Atlas, and all the others have started to become...
All the majors are targeting the same applicants. It's a matter of economics for a lot of people... Management will be the first to tell you this is business. I'm glad there are some pilots willing to treat the industry the same way.

They need to get a contract fast and a good one, or they're going to be paying to train people and then watch them leave to the legacies.

I have some 121 time now and a few interviews under my belt, so I'm hoping to show better the second time around. Any advice or info would be appreciated.

Hi guys,
Just had a quick question. I am in the process of applying to JetBlue, but I failed my CFI check ride twice around 15 yrs back. Does that look bad on me? I am currently an A330 Pilot & since then never failed any training or checks. Thank you.

Does anyone know much about the application process? At the beginning there is an option to upload a pdf, which I did. Now I'm farther into the process on a page called "resume builder" and it seems to have taken my resume and translated it into a plain text file and has the formatting all messed up. When HR reviews my information, are they going to see the pdf or see this jumbled up mess?
