Default jetBlue

Did anyone have an interview with jetBlue on April 25th or have an interview after this date still scheduled?

I just talked to my buddy on the hiring committee. The official word he was given is that we have stopped hiring "for the foreseeable future". Probably through the end of the year. He said everyone with an interview on the 25th or after should have been notified, and anyone who is not already in training is going to have to wait. I don't think we're doing a pool either.

To all those who may have interviews yanked, I'm very sorry to hear that. Hopefully all the airlines will be in a position to start hiring again soon. Sounds nutty but hey, I'm an optimist.

Yeah, I was going to fly down for the meet and greet on April 12th, but when I saw the rug getting yanked everywhere else, I changed my tune. I'm just under mins right now anyway.

Kell, you're considering getting on Velo's bad side?

Seriously, I agree with you as far as the rug being yanked everywhere. I'm about 2 months under mins for Southernjets (which would be nice since JFK is my dream base -- so to speak)

Heh. Oh I meet the mins for Southernjets. It's just those last two college classes holding me back. That and the industry spinning downwards.

I've got a decent chunk of friends that I flew with here at Pinnacle over at jetBlue. Plans to open an Orlando base pretty much shot that one up close to the top of the list. Delta's still my first choice, SWA is still my second, but I don't wanna be a career regional pilot, so there are others on the list.

Besides, if I live in base, Velo can deny JSs all he wants.

With ref speeds close to 150 knots and no leading edge devices, I wouldn't want to land an RJ on a carrier either.

Just teasing.

Yeah, I love it when I substitute words that actually exist and are spelled correctly for what I mean.....

You're better off.

Where is Velo, anyway? I haven't seen him around here in a while.

I'm J/K!!!!! But you're right. You'd think he'd be all over the place with whats been going on.

Hey Fins, do they still not have the numbers on the losses for JetBlue last year?

I assume you're talking about pilots. I think I got an e-mail on that a while ago but I don't remember.

Nice Chuck Norrisism. I love that stuff.
