Flew with a capt who does hiring here this week and he mentioned the window may open again in Feb. No shortage of folks in the database though.. 4000 qualified applications exist in the current database so he mentioned the company may not need to reopen other than maybe refreshing the list. He did mention we are slowly going to change the current web based application to make it more user friendly. Expected hiring is 100-350 for 2013.

That assumes we want guys that barely meet the mins when we can still choose between thousands of well qualified people. I would like to see the window open for comair guys though.

Barely meet the minimums? A lot of FOs have over 6,000 hrs SIC Turbine, and perhaps got their ATP andnTYPEva few months ago........hardly call that barely meeting the minimums

Thanks for reminding me.. Currently there is special emphasis on hiring Comair folks according to the discussion I listed above.

Yep, and I bet the company can't wait to get their claws on the Pinnacle group. A match made in heaven for the bluejet.

JetBlue has very targeted hiring. Unlike other carriers there is substantial weight placed on specific backgrounds at certain times. The phrase "selected for an interview" takes on a whole new meaning.
