Any word on when they are going to start interviewing for the pool again? I have a profile on file but haven't seen pilot positions to apply to.

New interviews Jan-Feb 2013 if you already have an app on file. App window to open June 2013 for additional resumes.

I attended the Vets in Blue expo last month, and this is correct. Interviews beginning in January for those with profiles already in the system, and a new window opening in the spring. I can't remember the exact month on that, it may have been a little earlier than June.

I attended as well, and that is what I heard. It was great to finally meet those who I knew by name only. Best of luck to us all in getting the call to interview!

New system bid just opened. 68 FO positions, and all training is to be completed by June 1. The bid closes Dec 14th, and after that we will see what is left over, looks mostly to be JFK 320 (20 open), JFK/BOS E190 (23open/14open respectively).

Lol, now the seniority argument. Do I need to debunk your lies on this too. United has 3298 retirements between now and 2020. If you got hired there today, and they replaced every position, which is a stretch considering the would have to train 471 a year. Not to mention the company sucks at making money and the only profit they have is international routes. You would be 9207 out of 12505 pilots, sitting 26% from the bottom. JetBlue will retire 100, grow at least 800 by 2020, and at least 500 people will leave. That would put a new hire today at 1725 out of 3125, about 45% from the bottom. But do what you want. Every one person leaving JetBlue is like 5 leaving united, but for some reason people only see "legacy" and 3000 mandatory retirements. I should not have to explain this to you guys. You have been on here for months acting like know it alls telling people excited about getting a new job all your wrong information. I hope your happy at your next job, we are all counting on you leaving this one.
Here's just a smidgen of what I've heard over the last quarter century...
PanAm will always be around
Eastern won't shut the doors
USAir will continue to operate in the west (PSA)
American is committed to San Jose and RDU
America West is buying all of TWA's domestic system
SkyWest will operate B737's by y2k
You have priority upgrading over her
You'll be a B727 captain in one year
You are set for life
We'll operate a 400+ aircraft fleet by 2015...
You could be flying a Boeing in 3 years
Save the first two examples every one of these claims was made by management and none of them were true. Any path you take in this industry is a gamble.

26% at an airline with an industry standard CBA, benefits, retirement, protections and disability...
Or
45% with an airline who doesn't.

And will add another:
"You'll be a 767-400 captain in 4 years" (when I was a new hire at ATA in '03....)
