Question about new hire training at JetBlue
 
Can someone please tell me about the training facilities for JetBlue in MCO? Where do you stay? Should I drive my car down for the six weeks or is there shuttle service to stores, restaurants, training facility,etc. Is training M-F? typical schedules, etc. Just looking for any insight on what to expect for these 6 weeks in MCO.
Thanks for any info.

Company runs a shuttle from hotel row to the school house, but having your own car will save your sanity (much easier to get to groceries, Ale House, etc...). The facility itself is nice, with company wireless throughout, free coffee and a Boar's Head deli open M-F. Training is somewhat M-F, but you will have some 6 day on, 1 day off weeks. Usually there's at least one 3 day break in there. None of this is guaranteed; the school house is running at 150 percent right now and schedules are subject to change. Instructors are mostly great but a little frazzled by the workload.

New hires have traditionally been in the Hawthorne Suites, with full kitchens, separate living/dining room, breakfast, and happy hour 4 nights a week. It's a nice location that is getting a bit frayed at the seams. If you stay there, use the safe for your small valuables (we had some thefts during a recent transition class).

Single occupancy, right?
