Default JetBlue New Hire Info

Let's start a thread for potential new hires and newly hired/poolies. We should keep the rhetoric and vitriol in the latest and greatest thread, and use this thread to focus on application windows, class dates, and other relevant info for people looking to work at JetBlue.

So, has anyone heard anything about the window opening? Feb class dates?

I agree completely. Keep it on topic!! Class size, interview info and initial info is all we should see.

New hires will be in Boston or New York for a while, and almost certainly more than a year to two years, much less 6 months.

Last guy I knew of to get MCO 190 was on property a year. I wouldn't expect to see much less than that.
