Because they aren't hiring.

Accurate reason?
We don't need anymore bodies, it pretty much comes down to that.
There isn't that many geezers here so retirements are non-existent and nobody else is hiring so everyone is staying put.

Application window was open for 10 days and there were close to 4000 applicants
We are likely to select 300 pilots out of this window for interviews, including Bluedarts
3700 met our minimums and over 2000 are exceptionally competitive
Average experience is higher than in past application windows
Competitive is over 5000 hours civilian or over 2000 hrs military fighter or 3500 military
transport/trainer
More than half of applicants have JetBlue referrals, and 85% have bachelor’s degree. To
be competitive, referrals and a bachelor’s degree are almost a must
Bluedarts must meet “satisfactory experience” criteria listed in the FOM 10.5, and over
3000 applicants meet that threshold
2013 – We hired 269 pilots
2014 - We have already hired close to 300 pilots so far this year, and are slated to hire
approximately 100 more (Aug-Dec). For a total of approximately 400
2015 – Initial hiring forecasts (which are subject to change) is 250-350 pilots
Upcoming class dates are 8/27, 9/10, 9/24, 10/15, 10/29, 11/12, 12/3
We have approximately 100 pilots in the “pool” and all have passed phase 2. They
should all be in class by Dec (though hiring projections often change, so no guarantees)
Upcoming interview dates are 9/16, 9/30, 10/16, 10/28, 11/6, 11/13
Candidates interviewing this fall will be for classes in the first half of 2015
Time from interview to phase 2 completion is approximately 2 months, and we now send
notifications to the candidates when they pass phase 2
Time from interview to class is 3-6 months, but can be as fast as 30 days if necessary
