Question JetBlue U Instructor jobs?

Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone can share some info on sim and ground instructor hiring at JetBlue? I meet most of the requirements on the job posting, am currently an instructor at one of the "Big 2," and was thinking about a change. Any info would be great!

How long from app to interview?
Interview to offer/letter?
Hiring into Airbus or E-190?
Starting salary or pay scale?
Do people seem pretty happy in the training department?

Thanks in advance!

The "Big Two" in Corporate Aviation Training, are Flight Safety International and CAE SimuFlite.

They interview pretty quickly after the application window closes, and offer the jobs not long after. It's not a 6 month process.

I think they are hiring into both fleets, but most of the growth is on the Airbus side.

Pay starts around $70,000. After one year you can apply to get a seniority number. A year after that year two line pay is more than $70k, so you would go to that pay scale.

Yep. People are pretty happy. It's a good place to work. The schedules get better/worse depending on training load. 18 days on, 12 days off.
