I asked if all of the background info was complete when I got the call for class. I was told that the fingerprints would have to be resubmitted, because the report has a 30 day expiration.

If you are in the Jan 8th class, you do not have to do the re-apply thing, and would not have gotten the email. You're good to go.

Did anybody hear anything new? I guess no news is good news, but man, the waiting is the hardest part.

you haven't been called yet?...there was someone i read on another thread that was in the sept 28 interview that got called in for a jan 22 class...it all depends on how fast your previous employers return your PRIA requests back to sterling...I was on top of them..and got them all done in about a week and half.

I was invited to the jan 8th class (SO EXCITED!!!)

I had guys that interviewed after me get class dates before me. I was convinced I didn't pass phase II because of that. But I eventually got the call. Don't sweat it. It'll come.

I got the call today for the January 22nd class. There's supposed to be 35 of us. See you all there.

That's good news man!

I'm sure we'll all catch up with each other, even with the split in classes.

Congrats!

Ladies and Gentlemen

For those that have moved on to Phase 2, congratulations! I'm lucky enough to be interviewing in several weeks and am going through the process of putting together my Application Packet. They're specific in the directions saying "Please print on standard 8.5 x 11" paper [do not use Legal sized or thick card stock]". My question deals with the 5 original copies of the resume as normally originals are printed on quality paper...did you print these on standard resume paper or standard 8.5 x 11" paper? I know it's being a bit nit-picky but I believe it's better to find out from those who've been there and have been successful than to make an assumption.

Thanks for the help!

Don't forget to vote yes for representation. The directed relationship is a fraud.

They really mean plain paper. It's just 5 copies so that all the people you end up meeting with have a copy in the folder. They'll be more impressed with you as a person/pilot than the quality of the paper the resume is on. Also don't forget to re read that checklist a LOT. There's a ton of stuff. Also my driver record form had to be notarized. Let me know if you have more questions. Pm if you like.

^^^LMAO^^^ love the way this always finds the bluethreads:D

Is the JB window open? Can't see a FO job listed on the website but maybe I'm wrong. If not, what's the word on when the window will open again? Thaks

Window just closed a few weeks ago, no word on the re-opening.

Noting wrong with being nitpicky! Nothing at all.

As a rule, I always print resumes on high grade quality paper. When they requested 5 copies, I simply used 5 sheets of quality paper and printed 5 copies.

Will they hold it against you if you don't? Probably not.

Will they notice if you do? Probably.

Just my $.02 Good luck, hope to see you here.

JB October 29 Interview date
 

For the recent new hires, do you mind sharing your quals? Thanks

Any Numbers
 

on the ratio of invited to interview to hired?

No offense Bozo but it's imperative new hires be aware and vote yes. Next time you are at OSC speak to some of the new hires. Truly just happy to be here and in their minds JetBlue can do no wrong.

For those getting hired. Welcome.

I disagree with that Benzoate. I'm currently in initial training and awareness in my group is high. We were just talking about the need for a union last night and support is high.

That is great to hear. Please continue to discuss the issues with those coming and going.

No I get it Benzo- Just think its funny. Keep the info comin- its valuable to the new hires. Yes vote is coming... For me its because of the varied interpretation of the PEA.

In the hiring process, when do new hires actually get to see the actual paperwork and what/when do you physically sign.

Since there is no union at
 

JetBlue, what happens to the pilots if they are bought out by another carrier? Sorry for my ignorance, I have only flown military.

Management negotiates with the acquiring carrier what happens to your career. Beyond that, nobody knows what would happen.

Other airlines have a collective bargaining agreement that details these sort of things, and the union has a legal team to defend it, in addition to a pilot elected committee that will negotiate what happens to the pilot group.

Hopefully that is changing soon!

According to the pea 50% of pilots have SLI rights, 50% do not.

Can you site the page and paragraph please. Not sure how I or the PVC missed that gem.

Thanks

Section 15 (J) (ii)

The PVC has discussed extensively.

This was also brought up at several "road show" since 2010. Management claimed the would change the verbiage but ultimately choose not to.

Much like requiring a full operational merger, (15) (b). JetBlue claims there are tremendous challenges, negative customer perceptions and costs associated with PROTECTING YOUR JOB.

Deleted....

The pea is worthless anyway. In the real world, mc-bond might actually say otherwise, or the acquiring company will most likely NEED 1300 trained and qualified, young, and active pilots anyway. Benzoate=hyperbole most of the time.

I would bet money non of us get furloughed. As for integration, we don't really deserve it anyway. We have a fraction of the longevity of our peers, work for far less pay and benefits, fly little tiny airplanes, and just generally bring down our peers wages (for the last 14 yrs). What makes you such an arrogant prick that you think you should just ratio into DL or AA with 1/3 the longevity and such ridiculous career expectations here at JB....

Popcorn ready for this slugfest:D:D:D

I dont recall discussing how we should be integrated. If you could set aside anger and childish name calling please re-read the post. As it stands right now 50% can be stapled, 50% not. This is the PEA. OF the 50% who may continue to have employment their SLI is based on a member of management desire to negotiate.
The point is the PEA says you can be furloughed. Just like the reduction is benefits, block times, seniority, sick time, vacation, use of the DRM, terminations and dependability policy. If it is not spelled out in a contract Jetblue will interpret, or use the word "intent", to do as it chooses.
History has proven so.
