Thanks Crash. Well said.

I think what he's talking about is reserving a thread for hiring and training information only, and have the union discussion in another thread. Theres plenty to discuss on both topics.

I had a question above that didn't get answered regarding JetBlue.

Any information on what the open houses are exactly and how one attends?

Also, can someone provide a link which would make it easy to check daily to see whether the JetBlue application window is opened or closed?

Thanks a bunch!

The last open house was an invite only event. It required 3 letters of recommendations and when the window opened your friends here had to send you a link to rsvp for it. From what I understand people were selected on a first come first served basis. There hasnt been any talk about another open house down here yet that I've heard. But that'll might change later in the year. They dont exactly keep me in the loop on these things.

As far as the app window, keep checking the "work here" link on the website and also the forum. Im sure someone will post here when the app window opens again, so have your stuff ready to go.

Hope this helps.

No offense, but your time seems a little light to be competitive. I haven't heard of anyone getting hired with less than 5000TT, and 7000+ seems to be the norm.

Good luck though....

This might be a litttle surprising, but I know of someone who got hired with 1600 Total! Granted he had some serious connections!
