It's totally random. Hard to tell. I'm at 4000, with 1000 in the 170/190, currently on the 777. JFK local, 2 jobs fairs, 2 internals. I wouldn't consider myself competitive yet. Haven't heard a peep. Yet I've heard of people with less hours than you getting the interview (maybe military, not sure) I would be very happy at JetBlue. Good luck though, lets us know if you hear anything!

We JUST reworked the order book. Like 2 weeks ago. They tuned and tweaked the orders, but didn't convert the 320s to 321s. Does that mean they won't, don't know. But they sure could have just done it, but did not.

Mil helo time

Does anyone have any insight into what kind of numbers make a former military helicopter pilot competitive? I'm a regional 121 FO now with roughly 1000 hours SIC, coupled with about 3000 mil RW hours/2000 PIC.

I thought I rode on a 190 the other day that had the bigger Tv's... but that couldve been the fatigue of 4 legs in and out of EWR before my commute lol.

More E190s? How about JB order some cheap C-Series from up North like Delta? So much more capable than the 190/195... And, as far as I can tell, not a high volume of recent orders = lower prices per unit... Now would be a good time to do a deal.
