I interviewed yesterday. What a company and what an experience! They really did a great job of getting everyone comfortable and putting you at ease. Regardless of how it turns out, I can't say enough about the positive interview experience. I interviewed with a very diverse group of pilots with all kinds of different backgrounds and hours. It's tough to pinpoint just what they're looking for but I can honestly say that everyone I met was a great candidate. I would suggest doing your homework about JB, I got the impression that most candidates weren't??

BTW, my times had been zero'd out as well so I don't think it's something to stress about.

Congrats on the interview and best of luck!! What led you to believe that people were not doing their homework on jetBlue?

Pretty much the same when I interviewed today. I'm on pins and needles until the yeah/nay e-mail hits my inbox. I'm REALLY hoping I get the chance to join such a great company, though. They really bent over backwards to make sure everyone was relaxed and comfortable.

Thanks. The whole interview was an absolute class act. I'd feel extremely fortunate to get the job.

Congrats you guys...i'm sure you guys will get good words soon!

I'm hoping the zero'd out stuff is just a cpu fluke.

What sorta JB specifics were they asking? Just curious.

Stuff like...tell us what you know about jetblue, what are our pilot bases, how many aircraft do we fly, what is the current stock price, who is the ceo, do you know any current news headlines involving jetblue, what new routes have we announced lately, what aircraft deliveries do we have scheduled, etc

Interviewed yesterday. Every person involved seemed to go out of their way to make me feel welcome, and according to friends, it's all genuine. I just hope I get my chance; now the waiting is the worst part...

Interviewed yesterday and what a great experience. What a totally different interview experience. They were trying to sell us on the company instead of us falling all over ourselves for them. Seems like a great place and hopefully I'll get the good email next week. A couple of things I forgot to ask yesterday:
1. Is there a training contract?

2. What is the 401k match? I don't think the info on the APC pay section is accurate.
