Another question, does jetblue pilots in JFK cover also LGA? How's the logistic in that? 2 hr call outs for either way? How's the best way to be in range of both places (crashpad)?

JFK and LGA are co-domiciles. If you get called out for a LGA trip, you can expense a cab to LGA. I don't drive, so I will let someone else answer that question.

Best way is to have a Kew Gardens Crashpad. Free hourly shuttle to JFK and short cab (which can be expensed) to LGA.

2:30 for LGA callouts and there is parking available, although I'm not too sure where specifically it is. Most crash pads are in the Kew Gardens area and that puts you right between JFK and LGA. Jetblue runs a shuttle bus from Kew to JFK, and there are several cab companies that will take you to LGA from Kew. Q-runner, Kew cab, etc and they aren't that expensive.

Beat me to it.

Don't forget expensing your cab!

That's the most important part! I was based there for a while and never knew we could expense the cab. :facepalm:

Does anybody know how many pilots JB is going to be hiring for the remainder of 2015 and years beyond? Are they going to be running classes continually like some of the legacies? Also, what is the background of most new hires? Regional? Cargo? 91/135?

Can anyone confirm the app window is currently closed? JB Careers page shows no results for "first officer" or "pilot" searches. APC currently shows JB "hiring".
