Hey my furloughed and active colleagues... I guess you have seen the Job fair at DFW posted at fltops.com, now, I have noticed that Jetblue is listed as a potential company, but their official website says that they are not hiring at this time, what is your opinion about it???
Thank you.
Thank you.

From: My seat smells like cat pee
I freak out everytime I take one of these pee tests. Years ago when I was about 18 I took a DOT Drug test required as a prerequsite to be employeed by an FBO that I had previously worked for. I got a call from the manager a few days later saying that my test came back positive for some sort of perscription pain killer. I was not on any medication nor had I ever taken a pain killer in my life.
I flipped out and called the lab in a fit of rage. 20 minutes later they call me and say they had mixed the result up and were sorry. You believe that!!!!

I had them pop me for one on the way back from Lima once, they came onto the jet bridge while we were deplaning. She wanted me to sign the form and start the clock ticking right there. I explained to her that I was not legally back in the country yet, and that even though we have priority in immigration, if there are other crews waiting or not many lines open, it can take quite a while to clear. I told her I would be happy to meet her on the other side of customs and sign the form there. She told me that would be a refusal to sign and she couldn't let me leave. It wasn't like I could go anywhere in between. Finally we settled on adding extra time to the alotted window, but man what a fiasco

I had to laugh during training when the Drug Test Lady came in to speak to the class. Seems we spent more time on that than anything else. Just another hour and thirty minutes of my life that I can never get back.
She actually had the audacity to say "pilots think they are better than everyone else". My sim partner (former Pan Am/ATA Captain) looks at me and says "that's because we are".
She then had the nerve to say "a large percentage of pilots are alcoholics." Then she went on to stroke her own ego about how many pilots she had busted in her time and NK and how proud she was of it.

I asked her just what she was implying, and she said something along the lines of "if i let go without signing this than you could leave and allow time to get something out of your system before we can test you again"
I looked at her and said "So you are not only accusing me of having something in my system, but also of a plot to try to hide it in some manner? Do you have any evidence of this, or are you sure you want to make that claim?"
That's when she offered another half hour to clear customs.
